Are there Rydberg antenna SDRs for radio astronomy?

What sensitivity (?) is necessary to navigate by the EMF of stars?

FWIU this is called astronometry? There's probably a better word than "astral"?:

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44054783 :

> How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine lat/long/altitude given the current time?

> How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine to infer the current time, given geometrically-impossible triangulation and trilateration solutions given the known geometry of the cosmos and the spherical shape of the earth?
