The other day I was poking around the parking lot of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum<\/a> on a special type geocache called an Adventure Lab. As part of completing the Adventure Lab I came up on this thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Analemmatic<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What? A Human Analemmatic Sundial. Analemmatic sounds like some sort of embarrassing medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My best bud Mr. Google tells me that an analemmatic sundial<\/a> is special sundial where the hours are arranged in an ellipse and hour pointer is vertical. A human analemmatic sundial is where you are the pointer. Also you have to stand on a different spot every month for it to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rest assured I was not up and out of the house by 8:30. The other part of this special sundial is that you have to correct for daylight savings time yourself. I thought it was pretty cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not the first time I have ever seen a sundial like this. Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area has one but it is labeled as a Human Sundial. Human is a lot easier for me to spell than Analemmatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It has been there eight years, just off the lower parking lot and still works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was an Eagle Scout project. God bless Eagle Scouts I say. They keep the world going around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I learned something. You probably knew all about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
