FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US WITH ANY ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS The armillary sp has become an icon of science with its elegant rings and beautiful silhouette. The armillary sp may have been invented by Eratosthenes around 255 BC. The instrument consists of a set of graduated rings representing circles on the celestial sp, such as the meridian, equator, ecliptic horizon, tropics, and colures. With an armillary sp, one could track the path of the sun for any given day of the year or determine a star's coordinates. The brass sp at the center of the armillary represents the Earth. This beautiful and accurate reproduction of European Demonstrational Armillary Sp shows relationships among important lines and points in the sky such as The Celestial Equator, the Celestial Poles, the Ecliptic and the Vernal Equinox. The ecliptic ring is divided with the signs of the zodiac and this Armillary Sp has an extra divided axis w the entire celestial sp can be accurately set to any angle. The rim of the armillary sp is marked "A PARIS Chez G. Gobille a P Ache Royalle." The heavy solid brass base is mounted on turned solid hardwood, and the bottom is covered with felt. The Armillary Sp measures 11 inches tall, 7 1/2 inches in diameter Shipping and Handling Please refer to read more
