         6 . A method for locating the position of an object, comprising the steps of;
 providing a gravity measurement instrument at a position within the universe;   knowing a position of at least two astronomical objects which each provide a gravitational force on the gravity measurement device;   measuring a gravitational field of the gravity measurement instrument; and   calculating the position of the gravity measurement instrument from the gravitational field by determining a vector direction of the gravitational force from each astronomical object.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the gravity measurement instrument is a gravitometer, zero length spring, a Lacoste gravimeter, an absolute gravimeter, a superconducting gravimeter, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed in caves, cities, jungles, a plane, a submergible machine, a space shuttle, satellite, or beneath the surface of an astronomical object. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed on a plane, a submergible object, a space shuttle, a person, or on the surface of the astronomical object. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device is deployed downhole in a tool string. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device is placed within or on a mining machine. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device comprises quartz, metallic, elastomeric, plastic or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location device is stationary relative to the astronomical object upon which it is positioned. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the astronomical object is the Earth, the moon, a comet, the sun, stars, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the movement of the astronomical object is known or predictable. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein a gravitational force from a third astronomical object is measured by the gravity measurement instrument. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the gravity measurement instrument is able to determine the gravitational force of the astronomical object as it moves. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the location of the gravity measurement instrument is recorded to the database at various points in a process. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gravity measuring device in is communication with a second gravity measuring device. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gravity measuring device is downhole one of the astronomical objects and incorporated in a tool string and the second gravity measuring device is on a surface of the astronomical object.
