My space clock

Hi Everyone

,

During the last semester of school, in design and technology we were given a task to design a clock face for a clock mechanism that were were given.

Me being an Amateur Astronomer decided to make it space based.I have attached a picture of it.

Hope you guys like it
Cheers Orestis

Thats great!! Keep it and put it in your observatory. I presume that is next year's project.

BTW I got into astronomy when I was 14. I'm now 52 and still love it. I hope you gain as much pleasure from the hobby as I have.

Does it work in stardates?;-)

Nice result!

However, did you ask if they could supply a sidereal time mechanism instead of a solar time mechanism!!

Top job Orestis.
Mass production next before someone steals your design.

Cheers Kev.
