Hi
Five minutes ago, splendid overhead pass (among clouds) of ISS-Shuttle couple
just before docking. Shuttle appeared first as a little dot close to ISS,
becoming brighter and brighter at zenith. I think it's the last time I can see
that.

Hello all
A friend of mine (french amateur diallist) was
recently asked if he had any idea about the potential use of the following
object. And if this use could be in relation with time telling.
He sent me a drawing. You can download a copy
(10ko) at the following URL :
If you sort by the surface, the total area filled by the hour lines of the
sundial on the Place de la Concorde in Paris is 85 x 142 m, that is 12000 m
sq. The Obelisk is 33 m high.

May I suggest that a possible rendering of this would be:

Hello diallists
Back from holidays I have just finished to read
the 76 messages of the sundial list of the last
two weeks.
Many thanks to François Pineau for pointing out
my web site about sundials in Brittany. For the
time being it is in progress. That's why I keep
it secret. I plan shortly to
-held computers. It is a bit obsolete now,
except for drawing the hours lines of the most
simple sundials for teaching purposes.
Good luck

Hello John and all,
Well, I quite agree with everyone, I had read
the mails a bit quickly (it was late here). EOT =
0 for a certain moment in UT, and that moment can
correspond to different days according to the
longitude and time zones. It is the same thing as
the seasons occurence that was
Time - AD + 12
Longitude of the place has gone away.
Am I wrong ?

After some holidays I discover the debate about
Swatch beat and french revolutionnary hours.
The decimal hours, minutes and seconds were
introduced on the 24 november 1793 with the new
revolutionnary calendar. A contest followed on
the 9 february 1794 for the design and building
it never
worked very well and it was stolen a few years
ago.
A paper in the french journal L'Astronomie in
1979 gives all the details. I can send you a copy
if you like.
