An armillary sphere is a model of the celestial sphere. It consists of a set of rings representing different celestial circles, such as the equator and the ecliptic. By rotating these rings to align with the position of celestial objects, users can track the motion of the stars, sun, and planets in the sky.
Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer, built large calibrated instruments called quadrants and armillary spheres to measure the positions of celestial objects before the invention of the telescope. He used these tools to create comprehensive catalogs of stars and planetary positions.
Before telescopes were invented, astronomers viewed the sky primarily with the naked eye, relying on their observations of celestial bodies and patterns. They used simple tools like astrolabes and armillary spheres to measure angles and positions of stars and planets. Their understanding was limited to the brightness and movements of celestial objects, leading to the development of early models of the universe based on these observations. This observational approach laid the groundwork for later advancements in astronomy once telescopes became available.
it work sby
did Edwin Hubble work with any one
Work is equal to Force x Distance. If no force is applied, no work is done.
An armillary sphere is a device for studying the rotation of the earth and other astronomical bodies (i think lol)
An armillary sphere is an instrument consisting of graduated metal circles used to represent the motions of celestial bodies around the earth.
it was either made in the date of 255 BC or 150 A.DI'm not sure (read it in books!)
J. S. Slater has written: 'Description of an improved armillary sphere'
An armillary sphere is a model of the celestial sphere that represents the apparent motion of the stars and planets around the Earth. It consists of a series of rings, or armillae, that represent the celestial equator, ecliptic, and other key celestial circles. Historically, it was used for teaching astronomy, demonstrating the positions of celestial bodies, and aiding in navigation. Additionally, it illustrates concepts like celestial coordinates and the relationship between the Earth and the heavens.
Ancient people saw Saturn, including Claudius Ptolemy, who used an armillary sphere - a device made of metal rings - to track all of the stars and planets.
Chinese inventor Zhang Heng is credited with several inventions. The world's first seismometer is one of his inventions. Zhang Heng also invented the water-powered armillary sphere.
Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer, built large calibrated instruments called quadrants and armillary spheres to measure the positions of celestial objects before the invention of the telescope. He used these tools to create comprehensive catalogs of stars and planetary positions.
Su Song's water clock tower is the biggest because it was 30 feet tall!!!!!!possessed a bronze power-driven armillary sphere for observations, an automatically rotating celstial globe, and five front panels with doors that permitted the viewing of changing mankiins which rang bells or gongs.

According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern A-M--L-R-. That is, nine letter words with 1st letter A and 3rd letter M and 6th letter L and 8th letter R. In alphabetical order, they are: armillary
The large red band represents blood spilt in wars. The small green band represents hope. The gold (for integrity) armillary sphere represents the discoveries. The seven golden castles represent the first seven castles conquered in the expulsion of the Moors from Portugal. The five blue (for virtues) shields with five white (for honour) dots represent the five wounds inflicted upon christ during the cruxifiction.
I don't know for sure, but it looks identical to a Celestial Globe, which was an ancient navigation tool used by sailors. Also known as an armillary sphere (variations are known as spherical astrolabe, armilla, or armil), this was a model of the celestial sphere that present the stars in relation to the earth. Link illustrates what the Celestial Globe looked like. It did have a globe mounted in the center of several rings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillary_sphere
