Oh, suspend some disbelief for a second!  If you aren't familiar with
the pattern of stars from a particular direction then you cannot tell
which stars are familiar and which aren't.  Also, since they were in the
galactic energy barrier, it looked like they couldn't even see the stars
in the galaxy.  My guess at the reasons that the Medusans can
intuitively navigate is because they can sense the fabric of space, and
tell where they are from it.  Any arguments about this requiring ether
to exist should be sent to /dev/null.  This is fiction, remember?
