Au XXe siècle, le nom d’astrolabe à prisme fut donné à des appareils destinés à déterminer des positions d’étoiles. Le plus connu a été l'astrolabe de Claude et Driencourt. Le principe a été repris par Danjon dans son astrolabe moderne. Utilisé par l'observatoire de Paris depuis 1952, cet instrument s’est révélé être un instrument précis et exempt d’erreurs subjectives d’observation(astrolabe impersonnel). On peut le considérer comme l'un des instruments fondamentaux de l'astronomie de position. Il sert à déterminer le temps et les variations de latitude. 1, record 2, French, - astrolabe%20impersonnel
