I apologize for the fact that this is behind a paywall, but believe it or not, searching "MuPS navigation" in google only gives me one applicable source and this is it.

Short version - bear in mind I'm not completely sure how this works so . . . you've been warned.
So, when energetic cosmic rays hit the atmosphere, they create showers of muons. So far, check.
You then install muon counters (they're pretty easy to detect) here, there and everywhere. These will be your "reference" counters. Got it.
Now, on your sub, bathysphere, multi-mile deep mine or tunneling device (used to get to the center of the earth of course), you have another detector. Here it gets fuzzy.
This device compares the difference in time between the reference modules and the one on board. It can then determine your location to within 60mm - even with only intermittent contact with the reference network. Now I'm lost.
The device was originally developed to help supplement GPS sats that tend to orbit at low altitudes when navigating near the poles.
If it is obvious to you how this works, an explanation would be appreciated.
BTW, since muons mostly (but just mostly) pass through normal matter, these types of devices could be useful deep under both ground and water.
US Navy is developing GPS that uses cosmic rays to navigate the Arctic
At higher latitudes, traditional GPS navigation is not reliable, but muons produced when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could be used to navigate in the Arctic, as well as underground or in the water

Jango Fett was actually a mandalorian.
starwars.fandom.com
But he left the way behind after the war and embraced self-employment. It also means Boba Fett is a proper mandalorian, or was at one point in his life.
Jango Fett
Jango Fett was a famed Mandalorian human male bounty hunter and the clone template of the Grand Army of the Republic. Known as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy during the final years of the Galactic Republic, Fett was proficient in marksmanship as well as unarmed combat. The Mandalorian...

Women get aroused by the smell of cucumber and candy and their breasts may swell in size up to 10% during arousal. And the best time to do the deed is 4 P.M. coz that's when they are the most receptive to copulation.
Ducks have corkscrew shaped penises so their females actually get "screwed". Even more fascinating is the fact that female ducks can engage dead-end pockets in their vaginas to avoid getting their eggs fertilized if they aren't quite into the male duck doing the screwing.
Traumatic insemination happens when male bedbugs stab the female's abdomen with their hypodermic penis. Female bedbug may get stabbed multiple times by multiple males before she scurries away to some other place, only to mate with its offspring if no other male is around.
The largest bug fossil on record was just discovered. A millipede over 8 feet long. 110 lbs when alive.

A giant millipede, nearly as long as a small car, once crawled around what is now northern England.
