I don’t suppose anyone here knows anything about sundial geometry? I have a plate with no gnomon and no idea where to start? #sundial #geometry #HelpPlease

If you were a military man in the 1800s, you had to make every second—& inch—count.
An army colonel gave our founder Lewis Evans this ingenious instrument in 1895. The folding 6" ruler opens up to reveal a #sundial complete with compass.
@bookstodon My review of #Sundial by #CatrionaWard just went live. It took me a while to write it down because it was QUITE a (terrifying, nightmarish) ride!

After finishing the wonderfully disturbing #Sundial, I needed something a little lighter and action-packed. Returning to Jack Sigler and the Chess Team for the third book, #Threshold

Time again to enact our traditional #SpringEquinox observance:
"Hey, it's the Equinox."
(sips coffee)
"Yep."

I am planning a moon garden and was trying to come up with an ornament along the lines of a sundial but to make art of the night, not the day. Any cool ideas to share? #GardenArt #MoonGarden #Sundial

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

On the campus of Nebraska Wesleyan U. in Lincoln, there's a monumental #sundial made of granite and stainless steel <https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMPE5_Nebraska_Wesleyan_Sundial_Lincoln_Nebraska>. The dial is marked to indicate Central #StandardTime ± the equation of time.
It's dedicated to the memory of Prof. Carroll L. Moore (1917-1996), who taught there and played a key role in founding the Prairie #Astronomy Club <https://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/a-history-of-the-prairie-astronomy-club/> and the Hyde Memorial #Observatory <http://www.hydeobservatory.info/the-history-of-hyde-memorial-observatory/> in Holmes Lake Park.

#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 and my #Garden."
Peter's final words were, "Few men have enjoyed life more. I cheerfully resign!"

Time Forsaken -This sundial is from Wanderwalk, my Great Grandmother's magical house in the Catskills. I spent a lot of time there as a child and this sundial was in a secluded and especially enchanted part of her property. It's in my yard, now, and I'm so glad to have this connection to a wonderful time and place.https://www.fromthepurplehouse.com/purple-house-time-forsaken #ArtMatters #Sundial #mountainsanctuary
