The Astrolabe, considered as the mathematic jewl of the Medium Age, was to the end of XVII century the movil instrument most used in the whole history of the Astronomy. It is still in force, because it allows us to undestand in a clear and simply way, the celestial mechanism and the apparent movement of the stars.

The piece is a reproduction of an instrument dated 1570 and signed by Humphrey Cole. This instrument is in the British Museum, London. The original piece has two faces, one of which is this nocturnal. This nocturnal watch is an artifact used to obtain the time at night using the fixed stars in the sky. This instrument appeared at the beginning of the 16th century and began to disappear in the 18th century. This piece was made to calculate the time with the Pole Star and Kochab.

Astrolabes can be used to solve many astronomical problems that would otherwise require rather sophisticated mathematics. All of they everyday uses are not known, but they were certainly used to tell time during the day or night, to find the time of sunrise and sunset, to locate celestial objects in the sky and also to determine aspects of horoscopes.
