A sextant is a navigational instrument used to measure the angle between two objects, typically the horizon and a celestial body such as the Sun, Moon, or stars. Its primary use is in celestial navigation to determine the observer's latitude and longitude at sea.

The sextant's accuracy and reliability have made it an essential tool for centuries, particularly in maritime navigation. While modern navigational technology has largely replaced traditional celestial navigation methods, the sextant remains an important backup tool and is still used in certain situations, such as when other navigation systems fail or for educational purposes.
