About This Product
An astrolabe is an angle-measuring instrument that has been used for centuries to observe the sky. In school astronomy and earth science, students sight a star or the sun, read the altitude and use it with declination to find latitude. The same kind of instrument can measure slope and dip in the field, linking astronomy with geology. Using it teaches careful measurement, recording and the idea of coordinates on a sphere.
