  1. The first step of the new 8m Sundial is piqueing my sunny astronomy interest! Fingers crossed for a finished installation this summer at #yorkuniversity

    For enthusiasts it will be based on the Shmoyer Sunquist Sundial design and should be fairly high accuracy! #sundial #solarastronomy #solar #telescope #science #Astrodon #astronomy

  2. This building also boasted a rather spiffing sundial, which was making the most of the fine afternoon weather flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

    I do like a sundial. More awkward to carry than a watch, though.

  6. Sidephone’s candybar-style phone with swappable keypads expected to ship in January

    The Sidephone is a modern phone with an Android-based operating system and a touchscreen display. But it also looks like a classic dumb phone with a candybar-style layout featuring a small screen above a numeric keypad.

    But what really makes this phone unusual is that the number pad is a removable module that can be replaced with other input “tiles.” Sidephone introduced the phone earlier […]

  7. Los teléfonos móviles son muy convenientes, pero en 1557 podían saber la hora durante el día, la noche y su posición gracias a los dos relojes solares, dos ruedas lunares, una brújula, mapas de la Tierra, tablillas astronómicas y astrológicos...¡y sin depender de la batería! 🏛️ Planetario Adler #herramientas #tools #relojes #sundial

  8. In #Goerlitz, Germany, a complex #sundial - perfect for the host city of the #ag2025goerlitz astronomy convention all week.

  9. Un reloj solar y una brújula portátiles de mármol de 1871 en Corea. Es uno de los centenares de tesoros nacionales de Corea del Sur.🏛️Museo Nacional de Corea #relojes #sundial #corea #korea

  10. Reloj solar de bolsillo con el rostro del emperador Antonino Pío (138-161) con cuatro discos intercambiables con marcas en ambas caras, probablemente para ser usados en distintas épocas del año. 🏛️Museo de Historia del Arte de Viena #antiguaroma #ancientrome #relojes #sundial

  11. Anillo de oro y diamantes de c. 1580 con forma de erizo que, al abrirse, muestra un reloj solar. 🏛️Museo de Historia del Arte de Viena #joyeria #jewelry #arte #art #relojes #sundial

  12. The flagpole is a red herring. The user is the gnomon, stand on the month in the central strip, and remember it is GMT.

  13. Stone, sod, sundial. Central Otago, New Zealand. #Stone #cottage at #Poolburn, #sod wall #building at #Oturehua. And when I looked over the #gate by the sod wall.. I found the #sundial. Pics taken 07 December 2023.

  14. Barrington Court's multi-gnomon sundial. No idea how one is supposed to read it (photo on a cloudy day).

  15. This is awesome.
    This scifi writer has created a sundial for a hypothetical planet in a binary star system. Top notch worldbuilding.

  16. #February 3, 1842
    #OTD Sidney Lanier, American #Poet, #Musician & #Writer, is born.

    Today #Gardeners can tour Sid's #Macon, #Georgia #Cottage w/ an #Herb #Garden, #Cobblestone paths, & #Sundial.

    Struck by the “#Beauty of #Cornfields & #Farms,” Sid wrote a beloved #Poem about #Corn.

    In #Trees & the Master, he wrote of Jesus at Gethsemane:

    "But the #Olives, they were not blind to Him,
    The little gray #Leaves were kind to Him.
    The #Thorn-tree had a mind to Him
    When into the #Woods He came."

  17. #January 28, 1694
    #OTD Peter Collinson, English #Botanist from Peckham & #Quaker merchant is born.

    He introduced 200 #Plants to England, including the #Ailanthus or #Tree of #Heaven, #Planted in rows near his grave.

    John Bartram sent him new specimens from America. He also corresponded w/ Linnaeus & Benjamin Franklin.

    Peter once wrote a line that is inscribed on #Sundial-s,

    "Forget not me & my #Garden."

    Peter's final words were, "Few men have enjoyed life more - I cheerfully resign!"
