Sextant is an optical instrument used to measure the angle between two distant objects. It is usually used to measure the angle between the sun or other celestial bodies and the sea level or horizon at a certain moment so as to quickly know the latitude and longitude of the location of the ship or aircraft. The principle of the sextant was first proposed by Newton. The sextant has a fan-shaped shape??o Its components include a small telescope, a semi-transparent and semi-reflecting fixed plane mirror, that is, the horizon mirror??o A movable mirror that is associated with the indicator, that is, the indicator mirror. The arc of the sextant is 1/6 of the circumference. When using, the observer holds a sextant??o rotates the index mirror??o to make the celestial bodies appearing simultaneously in the field of view coincide with the sea horizon.
