Which mechanism enables accurate timekeeping exhibited by 14th-century Islamic astrolabes?

💡 Explanation

Accurate timekeeping in astrolabes uses stereographic projection, because it maps the celestial sphere onto a flat plane, therefore allowing calculation of time based on star positions, rather than relying on mechanical means or inaccurate compensation.
