The astrolabe is a sophisticated and beautiful astronomical instrument used to measure time, azimuths, and declinations of stars.
In Europe, the astrolabe was an essential instrument for astronomers, astrologers, and surveyors until the end of the 17th century, when more accurate instruments replaced it. In the Middle East, its use lasted until the 19th century.
