      I imagine most people are like me. I'm 69 and I had never wondered how a sundial worked until maybe a week or two ago. The difficulty I had in grasping the principles generated more questions. I can now appreciate the brilliance of the armillary sphere.

    • @grayeaglej
      @grayeaglej Před 3 lety +1

      You almost got it, but backwards. The purpose of the globe in the center is to cast a shadow when properly aligned via the rings in order to give an accurate telling of TIME throughout the year. It is a SUNDAIL.
      This IDIOT spouting gobldygook about celestial spheres and other garbage has absolutely no idea what these devices were actually used for. :/

    hi are there an instructions available online that show how to use an armillary sphere i have a repro armillary sphere zodiac one and it moves but you can not tilt the axis
    and i wanted to know is there any way to do any even the simplest of uses for it i live in the USA Pittsburgh PA i would love to learn how to use it even if its only limited without tilting
    please let me know if there are any books or instructions on how to use it thanks Richard

      have fixed axis that don't tilt i just wanted to know can i still use it for simple readings and is the fixed axis a major problem? also how do i tell on the armillary sphere which way is
      north south east and west on the horizon band it is not marked n,s,e,w? thanks Richard

    • @grayeaglej
      @grayeaglej Před 3 lety

      Its a Sundial. You align the sphere with the North Star, turn the longitudinal ring to your specific location, set the azimuth or "Zodiac" ring to the current Month (when those specific constellations are in the sky) and Done.
      During daylight hours the Sphere will cast a shadow that gives you the exact time for your specific Latitude/Longitude and Season.
      These things were the most accurate time keeping devices ever created before the age of Mechanical Clocks, and even into that time.
      The Idiot in this video has absolutely no idea what he is holding and so made up that garbage about Simplified View of the Universe and Celestial Spheres and crap, probably because he cant grasp the concept that a SUNdial has to be aligned using STARS at NIGHT since magnetic compasses and ways of finding Longitude were rare and expensive at the times these were used. :/
