ASTROLABE by Christine Wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9 an angle-measuring tool that is made out of brass or wood. It helps sailors tell the time, and tell where the planets are and it is used to determine measurements of stuff in the sky. It was made in Greece in 200 BC. en-us 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC 2024-07-29 04:43:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Optimplaces.png How did it work? ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662727 It worked by them lining up the angels to the north star and  the planets to figure out where they were. It could also tell you the time when you line it up with the stars.]]> 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662727 What was it's shortcoming? Why did it need to be improved?It needed to improved because the boat would be shaking and there measurements would be off. ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662728 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662728 How the Astrolabe was useful ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662729 The astrolabe was useful because it showed the sailors a smaller view of the sky and helped them measure different parts like the sun. It tells the time when you  meusure the stars.]]> 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662729 Diagram ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662731 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662731 Interesting Facts ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662733 1. It dates back to ancient Greece
2. It could tell the position of the planets
3. Created by the astronomer mathematician
4. You don't need clear horizon when measuring the height of the sun
5. It tells the time by using different measurements]]> 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662733 The ASTROLABE was an important technology during the AGE of EXPLORATION because it help them know where they were and were they going and the time ms_wesling https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662735 2017-01-31 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150662735 Created by: https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150872409  Megan Reedy, Kahlyn Geiger, Bella Lewkowski, Elijah Guddie, Ava Balistreri,Jordan Bermke, Steven Reinke ]]> 2017-02-01 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150872409 Photo or drawing https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150911758 This is the Astrolabe made for determining different measurements in the sky.]]> 2017-02-01 17:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150911758 Slide show https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150974773   ]]> 2017-02-01 20:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_wesling/dq9b70lp7zu9/wish/150974773
