Minutes
Minutes of arc are a finer subdivision of degrees, with 60 minutes making up one degree. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. This unit allows for precise angular measurements and is commonly used in fields like astronomy, navigation, and geodesy, where detailed accuracy is required for mapping and celestial observations.
Hexa-Contades
Hexa-contades are an ancient unit of angular measurement, originating from Babylonian astronomy, where the circle was divided into 60 parts, with each part further divided into 6 degrees. This system reflects the base-60 numeral system used by the Babylonians and was foundational in early astronomical calculations.
