A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument used to measure the angle between any two visible objects.
Along with the development of the octant came the more familiar sextant. A common misconception is that the sextant is a relatively recent innovation in comparison to the octant. In actuality the sextant is very nearly contemporary with the octant.
