Sailors in the race use a tool called a sextant (kính lục phân), developed in the mid- to late-18th century, when celestial navigation became more scientifically precise. Using the instrument, sailors can measure the angle between two objects—in this case, the horizon and a celestial body like the sun, moon, or stars.
