Hello Ken,
Since I don't have the skills myself, I'm hoping
someone on this list will accept your challenge
to design a sundial for Armstrong's landing site,
and share the design with us.
Best wishes,
Mac Oglesby
Hi everyone,
I finally got to meet Homer Hickam the
author of Rocket Boys at the Science and
Engineering Festival in Washington DC. I
designed a sundial based on the book (file
attached) in 2004 while doing educational
sundial displays telling people about the two
sundials that NASA put on the Mars rovers.
I am now reading his new book Crater which
is about people living on the moon in the
future. He talks about the long shadow, periods
of darkness, when the sun is not up. What would
a horizontal sundial look like on the moon at
the Neil Armstrong landing site? What kind of
time system would be used on the moon?
I am just looking for some ideas to suggest
to him to include a sundial in his next book.
Thanks in advanced.
