| Özet: | Astrology and meteorology have always had great importance for agriculture and navigation.

We refer to: parapegma, (made when meteorology was still a particular aspect of astrology); a calculator for determining the position of stars; instruments to establish position of a ship with respect to the Sun or the North Pole and to determine ships direction and speed |
