Astronomical rings Latin language Latin annuli astronomici ref cite web title Annulus Astronomicus url http www.mhs.ox.ac.uk students 98to99 Inst Instpgs 2a.Gemmasrings.html accessdate 2009 07 18 ref , also known as Gemma s rings, are an early astronomical instrument. The instrument consists of three rings, the meridien, the equator, and the declination ring. It may be considered to be a simplified, portable armillary sphere , or a more complex form of astrolabe . The Rings The meridian astronomy meridian ring, when in use, occupies a plane with one axis running north and south, and the other vertical. A sliding suspension shackle is attached to the top of this ring, from which the whole device can be suspended. When properly used, this points to the latitude at which the instrument is being used. This ring can function as the gnomon , when the rings are used as a sundial . The equatorial ring occupies a plane parallel to the celestial equator, at right angles to the meridian. Often equipped with a graduated scale, it can be used to measure right ascension . The declination ring is moveable, and rotates on pivots set in the meridian ring. An imaginary line connecting these pivots is parallel to the Earth s axis. This ring is often equipped with vanes and pinholes for use as the alidade of a dioptra . It can be used to measure declination . History The parts of the instrument go back to instruments made and used by Greek astronomy ancient Greek astronomers .
