Sure! Here's a short note on Turn, signed as Mil:

Turn

A turn refers to a change in direction or position. In everyday life, we use the word to describe movements like turning a corner while walking or driving, or rotating an object. In mathematics, especially in geometry, a turn can represent a rotation—measured in degrees or radians—around a fixed point. For example, a full turn is 360 degrees.

In games or conversations, a "turn" can also refer to a person's chance to act or speak, such as in board games or group discussions. In literature or storytelling, a "turn" can mark a sudden change in events or emotions, adding depth to the narrative.

The concept of a turn is simple but applies across many areas—physics, language, art, and more—showing how movement or change plays a role in both the physical world and abstract ideas.

Sextant

A sextant is a navigational instrument used to measure the angle between two visible objects, most commonly between the horizon and a celestial body like the sun, moon, or stars. It helps sailors determine their latitude and longitude while at sea, making it essential for marine navigation before the age of GPS.

The sextant consists of a frame with a graduated arc marked in degrees, a movable arm called an index arm, and mirrors to sight the objects. By measuring the angle accurately, navigators can calculate their position on the Earth’s surface using mathematical tables.

Invented in the 18th century, the sextant revolutionized navigation by allowing more precise and reliable open-sea travel. Even today, it remains a valuable backup tool for sailors and navigators.
