This photo documents two very important means of navigation to (thru)hikers on the Appalachian Trail. The term "blazes" refers to the white painted rectangles on this tree trunk. The entire AT is marked with this white blazes, thereby allowing one to travel on the trail without a map. In this image, there are two blazes, meaning that there is a trail intersection ahead. In this case, the section trail that intersects the AT is a side trail leading to a shelter. For the most part, shelters can be located directly on trail or up to 1 mile off the AT. There is a second sign above the one for the shelter, indicating mileage from that specific location to other landmarks (mountain summits, other shelters, road crossings, etc) north and south of the present location.

Currently, the star Canopus began to appear at dawn in southern Egypt and will appear in the north in a few days
The star Canopus (Suhail) and its appearance were associated in the Arabian Peninsula in ancient times with the improvement of the weather. They said that if Suhail rose, the night would be good and the flood would not be safe, meaning the chances of rain would increase after drought.
The picture contains the two brightest stars in the sky; the first is Sirius , located at the top left of the picture, and the second is Canopus
At latitude 25, Canopus will appear on August 24, and at latitude 30 on September 18, Canopus cannot be seen at latitudes higher than 37 north.
In addition to this, this star has been used in navigation since ancient times until now in space navigation
