Armillaries are ancient astronomical instruments formerly used to track the date, the time and various celestial happenings throughout the year. In a simplified version, an armillary is also known as the sundial but the armillary sundial differs from the garden sundial in that it is three-dimensional in its presentation and is more accurate in its demonstration of the time.
