Astrolabes
are related both astronomically and
historically to sundials. This is a new web site which explains the basic principles, uses
and history of the astrolabe.
Another interesting site is

different area of knowledge.

USA - Illinois - Pekin
Here in Pekin Illinois USA we have a sun dial consisting of nine
short analema and one great analema for noon. The great one indicates
the months days and lots more. It occupies a space about 40 meters long
and 30 meters wide. (guesses). Each short analema indicates the hour
begging at 8 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m. In addition we have a model of
Uranus which is part of the worlds largest planetary exhibit. The sun
and other planets are located in cities nearby. I will be glad to supply
more detail on request. Pekin Illinois is located approx 40 deg 29 min
North and 89 deg 40 min West. - Thanks to Harry H Bowen
