[Orbit, right. He gives a slight nod and a smile. Like the moon orbits his world - he hadn't thought of that. Just thought of stars as changing with seasons. It's certainly not the perspective he is used to thinking about, how things in space move around. It's not something anyone thinks about where he's from, not anymore. If space travel was ever really real, and not just myth and religion, it sure isn't now.
So yeah. This is why he asked Will, and he's glad he did.]
We can approximate a year based on weather, but one step at a time, like you said. I have about a month's worth of images all taken out by the lake, to try and get as much of the sky as I can, and they're named to match the time and date given by the tablet, as well as the compass bearing. How do I get them all to you?
[He'll have to ask Rastus for a sextant next. That third dimension is going to be crucial for navigation if they ever get out on open water. Hm. Hopefully he's able to do better with that than he had with the shotgun ammunition that never arrived.]
