The Invention of Astrolabe

Astrolabes were first invented in the Middle Ages and


were used to measure the positions of the stars and
planets in the night sky.

Based mostly on the thoughts and discoveries of


Hipparchus, Apollonius created the first astrolabe in
225 BCE for the ancient Greeks. The Astrolabe is a tool
used to precisely measure the location of the Sun and
other stars in the sky. One of the most significant
scientific developments of the medieval era was the
astrolabe.
