How a Sextant Measures an Angle
A sextant works by double reflection. The observer looks at the horizon directly while light from the second object, such as a star, is reflected first by a mirror on the moving arm and then by a fixed mirror into the same line of sight. The arm is moved until the reflected image just touches the horizon, and the angle is then read from the arc. Because the light is reflected twice, the angle between the two objects is twice the angle between the mirrors, and the arc is graduated to read the full angle.
