The octant was invented by British mathematician and astronomer John Hadley in 1730. Hadley's octant was a navigation instrument used to measure the altitude of celestial bodies, helping sailors to determine their position at sea.
He invented the octant which was a precursor to sextant.
The sextant was developed independently by multiple inventors in the late 18th century, including John Hadley and Thomas Godfrey. It is unclear who specifically should be credited with its invention, as the device was refined over time by various individuals.
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting octant in 1699.
