In that year, mathematician Edmund Gunter rediesigned the quadrant, engaraving a stereographic projection of a part of the equator, ecliptic, the tropics and the horizon onto the plane of the equator. By sighting on a particular astronomical information, as well as distancies, date and time of a day. Five years after its invention, Gunter delivered a paper describing the quadrant, which gained immidiate acceptance within the scientific community.
