Brass astrolabe on a black stone base
The astrolabe, also known as the armillary sphere, is one of the most important astro-navigation inventions in the history of mankind. Astrolabes were used by the greatest minds of medieval times, including Nicolaus Copernicus. It was used to determine ecliptic and equatorial coordinates and to perform various mathematical and astronomical calculations, such as determining the time of sunrise and sunset, the length of the day, the astronomical height of the Sun and stars.
At the center of the astrolabe is the Earth surrounded by rings representing the equator, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the zodiacal ring.
The astrolabe as a symbol of humanity's pursuit of knowledge of the universe will prove to be a unique gift for a scientist, astrophysicist and university worker. There is also a beautiful decoration for a study or living room with a scientific note.
