The sextant is a traditional yet still vital instrument in navigation, used to determine latitude and position at sea. It measures the angle between a celestial body, such as the sun or a star, and the horizon. This measurement, combined with the exact time, allows the navigator to calculate the ship's latitude.
Using a sextant requires precision and practice. The navigator sights the celestial body through the sextant’s telescope and moves the instrument's arm until the reflected image of the celestial body aligns with the horizon. The angle read from the sextant is then used in navigational calculations or tables, such as the Nautical Almanac, to determine the exact position.
Despite the prevalence of GPS, the sextant remains a valuable tool, particularly in situations where electronic devices may fail.
