This instrument is a reproduction of the universal astrolabe designed by Juan de Rojas y Sarmiento, a Spanish astronomer and mathematician, in the 16th century. In 1550, Rojas introduced the orthogonal projection to Europe, which was successfully applied in this universal astrolabe. Unlike earlier models, this design offered the advantage of being usable at any latitude, making it a versatile and groundbreaking tool for its time.
