A Day in the Life of a (mostly) Human Sundial

NASA APOD · Progymnasium Rosenfeld
COSMIC MESSAGE

Students from the Progymnasium Rosenfeld act as the gnomon of a human sundial, casting shadows to tell time. Each participant stood for 10 minutes as the Sun moved across the sky on July 19th. This time-lapse video shows the collective effort of marking the passage of a day using only the Sun's position.
