Scope note
Instruments which forecast solar and lunar eclipses across the globe. Two types exist; one invented by Scottish astronomer and mathematician James Ferguson, which incorporates a globe, and the Bibliothèqe Nationale has an example in their collection made by Ole Rømer (1644-1710), which is styled like a planetarium.
