A small modern astrolabe from Hemisferium, a wooden armillary sphere, and a reproduction of a 1647 Diya'al Din Muhammad astrolabe (left to right) set to 12:30 pm for today, winter solstice.
Happy #solstice! I misplaced my planets, so can't show full celestial situation. #astrolabe #armillarysphere #astronomy
Metal rings hold sun and sky,
A garden compass, still and bright.
Through shifting grass the seasons fly,
And stars are caught in rustic light.

Current situation with Ishtar transitioning from Morning Star to Evening Star (leading the sun up but trailing on setting). #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere #skyscape #Venus
Current situation on the #armillarysphere w a picture from last night of the near-full (day 13) moon & cloud halo. Had to adjust the moonring (mondring) to get the full phase opposite the local star for the #LunarEclipse tonight. Moon should rise ~7 pm, set around 7 am. #celestialsphere #astronomy
The only view of the stars I will get tonight. #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere #cloudynight
I think I finally got the mondring (moon ring) right! Saw the 22 day old moon while scraping my car, went back in to check the #armillarysphere and it was correct. #astronomy #celestialsphere #moon
Current situation. Relative position of Wanderers was set with the aid of Stellarium. Moon is possibly in the right position. I think I finally figured out how the mondring is supposed to work #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere #moon
DREIPUNKT Armillarsphäre DELUXE set to today's date and local celestial time for my latitude (~40.25°). Mondring ist nicht richtige ein gesteckt, aber gleich.
Current situation. Relative position of Wanderers was set with the aid of Stellarium. Moon is not quite in the right position (phase is correct), but i don't have the energy to move the mondring. #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere

My DREIPUNKT Armillarsphäre set to current celestial time. Planets set with the aid of rise/set times calculated for my location by @skycalpro.com. #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere
Current situation. I think I have everything set correctly except the tilt of the #moon. Phase is correct, rising approximately correct. Used #stellarium mobile to get the planetary coordinates. #astronomy #armillarysphere #celestialsphere
According to my #armillarysphere, #sunrise tomorrow should be around 7:40 am. I think. #astronomy #celestialsphere
Progress on the #armillarysphere. Gonna wait for some glue to dry, then back at it tomorrow. Hoping to habe the latitude and date set by Saturday evening for some test observations! #astronomy #cosmicsphere
My DREIPUNKT #armillarysphere has arrived (endlich)! So excited for this. They say the waiting is the hardest part, but they have probably never assembled a wooden armillary sphere...

My #astrolabe and #armillarysphere rabbit hole yesterday led me to this wonderful app: scientific-instrument-commission.org/resources/ot...
I've only trained with the #nocturnal, but the simple visuals and explanations are great and easy to follow. Highly recommend. #astronomy
ooh, and this one: puntovernal.co.uk/p/armillary-...
Thanks to BC Gnomonics videos and website for this one!

Finished our 3d #puzzle this morning! Didn't time it thus morning, but about 4 hrs total. 1 gear doesn't align, so one "wanderer" doesn't rotate. Still pretty cool! We had a lot of fun making it. #armillarysphere
Trying this once more now that I've discovered more #Astronomy folks on here ( @skymaps.bsky.social @skycalpro.bsky.social @allthegalaxies.galaxyzoo.org @emily.space ), any help finding a function #ArmillarySphere would be amazing. Only finding decorative ones I can't tell if they are functional.
I have become obsessed w getting my hands on a functional #ArmillarySphere. Having hard time finding listings of functional details (sun & moon, adjustable axes, star positions, etc.). Want authentic function, tabletop, ~10"+. Any suggestions? #Astronomy #Astrolabe #ecliptic #meridian #Cosmographia
Made this for a good matey, Mini, who asked me to draw her OC.
It took me a long while to finish it, but I'm glad with how it turned out and it's one of my proudest achievements this year. I'm glad I was able to finish it before PC died. 🌌

Armillary sphere in a box
No cause for ALARMillary...
But apparently we have more than one of these in mid century modern (but not TOO modern) movable planetary devices @NewberryLibrary? #ArmillarySphere #JusticeForPluto #Pluto
