'''Celestial chambers''' (or celestial temples) are areas on ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' and other [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestars]] where navigational readings were taken hundreds of [[yahren]] prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar|destruction of]] the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonies]].<br />
<br />
[[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] finds an unused celestial temple housed near one of ''Galactica'''s engines. Being the only known celestial temple in existence, Apollo repairs it.<br />
<br />
Celestial temples were mostly removed from battlestars in the Colonial service, as their use was superseded by advanced technologies.<br />
<br />
Celestial temples are comprised of [[transparent tylinium]] and had shutters that could close when not in use ([[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
* The celestial chamber is reminiscent of a 17th century Earth seafarer's navigational tool called a [[Wikipedia:Sextant|sextant]]. Sextants, too, are all but obsolete as technology developed, but are popular collectors' items.<br />
