Astronomical observation equipment from the late Joseon Dynasty recreated for the first time in 170 years = South Korea

The astronomical heritage of the late Joseon Dynasty, which has been passed down only through literature, has been recreated for the first time in about 170 years. The Korea Astronomical Research Institute is reproducing ``Hong Jung Wooi'' by Nam Byeong-cheol.
He announced that he had succeeded. Armillary globes are astronomical observation instruments that reproduce the movements of various celestial bodies, such as the Earth, the sun, and the moon, and measure their positions. Until the transition to modern astronomy, it was used as standard.
was. The Minami -Shade Tetsu's Husumiki was improved to complement the existing Hangeni, which was divided into individual functions, and was convenient for observation. The Armillary Armillary Edition of the Theory of Ritual Instruments written by astronomer Minami Bingzhe
” is recorded. The armillary globe has the ability to adjust the altitude of Polaris, which is the standard for astronomical observation, so that it can observe celestial bodies while changing locations. Until then, the armillary was used to observe the altitude of Polaris.
Once it was set to suit the location, it could not be changed any further. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a variety of information such as altitude and azimuth measurements, as well as ecliptic and equatorial coordinates, if necessary.
. Research related to the armillary sphere was started 20 years ago by the institute's Kim Sang-hyuk Responsible Research Institute. From 2022, the hospital's Min Byung-hee Responsible Research Institute and the National Gwacheon Department will be established.
A research team including Nam Kyung-wook, a researcher at the university, was working on the reproduction. The Minami -Uchi's Hunenmi will be specially exhibited in the July -December quarter of Kanagawa Science and the way.
