Add to ORKGPaper Session - S092. Astronomy and its applications in ancient and medieval societies: S092-G: South and East Asian astronomy, part 3An astrolabe imitates the motion of the heavens. Without stereographic projection the astrolabe is inconceivable. It is, however, the origin and development of the method of stereographic projection was unclear. The Planisphaerium by Claudius Ptolemy (85?-165) is the only Hellenistic work on stereographic projection that has come down to the present day. This paper will examine the following issues: Hipparchus of Nicaea (190B.C.-125B.C.) and the discovery of stereographic projection; Roman architect Vitruvius (died after 27 A. D.) and the anaphoric clock; Roman portable sundial and stereographic projection; M...
