英语词汇“sea astrolabe”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Any of various portable instruments formerly used for making astronomical measurements, esp. the altitudes of celestial objects, typically taking the form of a graduated metal disc with rotating parts and a sighting arm. Also: (more fully mariner's astrolabe, sea astrolabe) a similar but simpler and heavier instrument, lacking a rete, used for determining latitude at sea from observations of the altitude of a star or the noon sun.Astrolabes first appeared in ancient Greece and were further developed in the Islamic world. The construction of astrolabes changed as their purpose developed, but they were generally used for locating and predicting the positions of celestial objects, determining local time or latitude, and surveying. The astrolabe formed the basis of the planisphere.
