Léon, Sextant Saint
Le demi-frère de Misty qui est muet depuis un évènement traumatique dans sa vie
Il est possible que Misty ai été la cause de cet évènement
Contrairement à Shreya, Léon peut communiquer via le cosmos
Il a un lien avec les papillons et est un ennemi naturel des Moirai dû à sa cloth

are those TV aerials medieval?

also, chimney pots too modern, manufactured slate, lead flashing, those look like double-glazed dormer windows, what even is that thing he's holding (on cloudy day no less), why's he on the roof, & England has had roads for millennia you don't need a sextant mate
Let's play another fun game of can you spot what's wrong with this pile of ai slop...

Me: well i'm pretty sure no sextant has ever looked like that- notices the background- ah

All that reading I’ve done about whether the sextant or chronometer was placed correctly in the box during transport to the ship is gonna pay off now.

This is a TOP tier Alastor outfit to me.
I love them turning his monocle into a sextant l, I love the boots, I love his chef hat, and I love his neckerchief. It’s all so peak!!!

Yes, much like jetliners of the era had glass sextant ports in the cockpit ceiling so the flight engineer could determine their position by celestial navigation.

I know absolutely nothing, so making these up.

Wyd: a serpent with a forked tongue

Feylie: a centaur with horns

Simon: a sextant

Reena: cupid with a bow and arrow

#Octember Maira is probably Sextans. And after sniggering about the name, she'd agree.

The sextant is the tool that represents the Fallen Star and, by extension, Maira. She seeks direction - a sextant would help with that.

I kept trying to post a bunch of photos yesterday but bluesky kept eating the post, so here's one of 'em by itself.

what about wholesome co-ordinate systems though? - like I thin of sailors using a sextant and time and how a second in time corrresponds to a second on the earth ... tuned in to the positions of the sun and moon (to get time) - i mean - "seems wholesome"

L'ancien panneau à aiguilles a cédé sa place à un écran numérique flambant neuf, les détails esthétiques sont plus nets et la flèche a entièrement été rénovée, mêlant subtilement le « D » du land et le « I » d'information à un sextant de navigation.

To the Nebraskans who jeered and cheered to Trump’s comment to “Take out” Los Angeles and San Diego:

I highly doubt Gerald Ford would have ever said anything that horrific about his fellow Americans. He served in the US Navy during WWII.

San Diego is home to the Pacific fleet and US Navy.

😄 Did you keep a sextant handy?

17/25 How did it work? One observer brings the Moon's bright limb to the Sun's limb, or to a star, in the sextant. At the same moment, two others take the altitudes of both bodies, and someone notes the watch. Repeat and take the mean.

16/25 What did they use? The octant of 1731 measured up to 90 degrees, not enough for wide Moon-Sun distances. In 1757, a naval captain, John Campbell, who had tried lunars at sea, proposed a sixth of a circle: 120 degrees. The first sextant was built in 1759.

Meh...I could do all of those things while flying a plane.

Aaaand technically the sextant is a theoretica skill but that's just a back-up plan.🤣

Cause they still know how to dead reckon, use a sextant, compass, and clock to figure out where they area (or those fancy spinny things that remember from whence you came when underwater) rather than follow the highways with AAA mapkits ;-)

Pretty accurate eastwards until about Pickering nuclear, then it goes a bit too squiggly.

Anytime these old maps resemble reality really shows the skilled observations of whoever made them w such limited tech. A sextant and nautical spyglass?
On this date in 1757, the Toronto shoreline was first detailed on a French map. It identifies the Credit River (Rivière au Credit), the Humber River (R. Toronto), Fort Rouillé on the Exhibition Grounds, and the Scarborough Bluffs (Les Grandes Ecores).

5/28 The Bounty's chronometer, Larcum Kendall's K2, stayed aboard and went to Pitcairn with the mutineers. Later accounts say Christian did hand down his own sextant and a book of tables. Latitude was possible. Longitude would be pure reckoning.

4/28 Dawn, 28 April. Christian and armed men took Bligh in his cabin. His clerk John Samuel got a quadrant and a compass into the boat. Bligh wrote that they were forbidden, on pain of death, to touch any map, ephemeris, sextant, or timekeeper.
