This historically accurate sundial features a compass and beautifully printed sundial face, as well as a nautical map of Europe. The exterior cover is topped with a colored print of the astronomer Tycho Brahe's mural quadrant, reproduced from his book Astronomiae Instauratae Mechanica (1598). A horizontal sundial consists of one dial plate, marked off in hours, and the gnomon which sits on the noon line and projects out from the dial plate. In order to tell the correct local time, the gnomon must be parallel with the Earth's axis, or, in other words, that it should point towards the celestial pole. In the northern hemisphere, this means, for practical purposes, that the gnomon should point at the Pole Star. The chief advantages of the horizontal sundial are that it is easy to read, and the sun lights the face throughout the year. All the hour-lines intersect at the point where the gnomon's style crosses the horizontal plane. Since the style is aligned with the Earth's rotational axis, the style points true North and its angle with the horizontal equals the sundial's geographical latitude. The perfect item for those with the spirit of discovery. Dimensions Length: 3.4 in Width: 2.75 in Height: 0.8 in
