Terrestrial and Celestial Cartography,

Abstract

World Data Bank I has been reordered in such a way that the latitudes where coastlines cross meridians are sorted in order of latitude for each minute of longitude. Whether a satellite position is over sea or over land is determined by the parity of the next lower crossing. Stellar data on distance and velocity as well as direction are given in a small catalog. Boundary data for moon maria, constellations, and the Milky Way are given in a set of files. (Author)
