The astrolabe let us explore the world in the past
Few inventions are as important as the astrolabe. While this navigation tool may seem antique and obsolete right now, it allowed explorers to determine latitude on land or calm seas and tell the time during day or night.
Now, you may be wondering, what does this antique machine have to do with the progress of humanity? The answer is simple: it laid the foundation for today’s far more complex computing machines, such as the modern laptop. How impressive!
