Astrolabes were first widely used in the Middle Ages and by about 1450AD they were in use by navigators. They allowed navigators to calculate the position of the Sun and stars from the horizon. Their use was the first step toward scientific navigation. The great age of exploration was coincidental with their use.
An astrolabe was used for finding the time during the day or night, finding the time of a celestial (which is a fancy word for heavenly) event such as a sunrise or sunset, and as a handy reference of celestial positions. Astrolabes were also one of the basic education tools!

Astrolabes were used for measuring the altitude of stars and planets, aiding in navigation and timekeeping. Quadrants were used for measuring angles, particularly the altitude of celestial bodies, for navigation or astronomical observations. Both instruments were essential tools for ancient astronomers and navigators.
Navigation, Astronomy, Geography, Surveying, and Time Keeping just to name a few.
Astrolabes were made using metals such as brass. This gave the toolsÊadded strength among various journeys but weighted down their overall usefulness.

It was made by scientist, Arab Concelia.
Compasses help sailors determine the direction in which they are traveling by detecting the Earth's magnetic field. Astrolabes were used by sailors to determine the altitude of celestial bodies, such as the sun or stars, which helped them navigate by calculating their position relative to these reference points.

In ancient times, instruments like astrolabes and star charts were used to determine position using the stars in Mecca. Astrolabes measured the altitude of stars above the horizon, while star charts helped identify specific stars and their positions relative to Earth. These tools were essential for navigation and timekeeping.
