Sundial, Professor's Garden, Jagiellonian University Kraków I'm pleased to report that the sun was working and on time #PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages #photography #sundial #HorasNonNumeroNisiSerenas #EastCoastKin

Unusual multi-faced sundial in the "Professor's Garden" at the Jagiellonian university in Kraków. The sundial is modern, the technology obviously as old as time. It contains corrections for time of year, but strangely not for daylight saving...Unusual multi-faced sundial in the "Professor's Garden" at the Jagiellonian university in Kraków.

A diptych #sundial, shaped as a mandolin.
Nurenberg, 1st half of 17th century. 7.5cm long.
The magnetic compass has been very useful for portable sundials, especially in mid-17thc. in Europe when the magnetic and geographic poles were in the same direction.

A that shows time digitally

"The sundial displays time (with actual digits !!) from 10:00 until 16:00, updating every 20 minutes"

Too bad it only goes up to 14:20, almost made it to 16:20 (4:20pm) 😂

🚀 STRAP IN for a wild seven-minute tour of C++ time conversions, because apparently, mere mortals can't handle wall clocks without a PhD. 🤓 Spoiler alert: You'll still need a and a prayer to sync those epochs! 😅
