Detail of Arabian Celestial Globe, 1279

Detail. Plan of the Arabian celestial globe is one of the five oldest Islamic globes known. Constructed by Muhammad Bin Muwajid Elardhi of Meragha in Persia in 1279. Celestial globes show the apparent positions of the stars in the sky. They omit the Sun, Moon and planets because the positions of these bodies vary relative to those of the stars, but the ecliptic, along which the Sun moves, is indicated. The clear difference between maps and globes is that globes are spherical whereas maps are flat. The map needed to cover a globe is not rectangular like a map.
