RE: A new look at the Equation of Time
Hello Kevin, I really believe that this look is not only quite different but rather attractive as well - I am incorporating it in my current design - thank you Les lombard From: sundial-boun...@uni-koeln.de [mailto:sundial-boun...@uni-koeln.de] On Behalf Of Kevin Karney Sent: 28 September 2010 03:06 PM To: sundial Subject: A new look at the Equation of Time Dear Colleagues You may be interested in the attached chart of the Equation of Time for 2011. It is of interest for a number of reasons... - it is an 'intrinsic' plot - not the familiar cartesian, polar or analemmatic form. An intrinsic plot has equal increments of the independent variable along the curve of the plot rather than along the x-axis. This allows the curve to be folded - making a very compact form. - it is much easier to read than a normal plot, because the day points are all equally spaced along the curve. - it looks good ! --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
RE: International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hello Everybody! Please do keep the Southern Hemisphere in mind with that said we have a sunnier winter than the North surely the middle of winter is not such a good idea for the North with high probability of a missing sun? So in principle I would recommend a suitable day in the Northern summer?

Yes, the day has been co-opted by others who are now pretty established in their beliefs but perhaps now is the time to recapture the true meaning of the solstice.

In several brazilian sites an blogs people are talking about IYA 2009. Checking the monthly scheduled activities for the whole year around the country I was not able to find anyone related to- or that even mention sundials. Is this the same in the other countries? Does anybody know why sundials are not being considered as something to be covered? Best regards, Ricardo _ Instale a Barra de Ferramentas com Desktop Search e ganhe EMOTICONS para o Messenger!

RE: In the Bible, what time is the 6th hour in GMT?
Hello Willy and all on this topic, I believe the version of the Bible you are reading possibly already suffers from translation issues relating to the understanding of the time system - examples of translation (ha,ha) old versions of the Bible God created woman to serve man) latest versions (God created woman to be a companion for man) - a significant difference only due to translation and current concepts!

I think Fer is right, Antique hours are periods not moments. Nevertheless in Mat 20 1-16 I read AT the eleventh hour, not IN the eleventh hour. The (shortened) text: The master of a household went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. . About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.' . When the laborers who were hired at about the eleventh hour came to receive their wages, they each received a denarius. When the first came, they likewise each received a denarius. When they received it, they murmured saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'

With the latest Dutch translation of the Bible a few years ago it was discussed to use our timesystem but I am glad they didn't. The antique hours are still in use. Many times is said that noon is 6 but it is the end of the sixth hour and the seventh hour start. With sunrise the first hour start. Halfway afternoon 9 hours has past and the tenth hpour start. Antique hours are not moments as we are used to but an hour is a period of time. It is in the nineth hour and so on. Best wishes, Fer.

I would say noon for the 6th hour. An interesting point on Biblical time. I am reminded of the workers in the vineyard Mat 20 1-16. Those that started at the 11th hour were paid the same as those that bore the heat of the day. They needed a better union for fair wages. Day started at sunrise. Was it unequal hours, 12 hours per day of daylight, every day of the year? Or was it Babylonian hours, equal hours starting at sunrise. I suspect the former but the day starts at sunset for Jews. Friday night is part of the Sabbath Day. Does this time refer to equal hours starting at sunset, Italian hours. What are the Biblical hours? I don't know. Today at the equinox, it does not matter. Biblical hours, Babylonian hours or Italian hours using 12 hour cycles are all the same today. I do know that many religious ceremonies start at at 3:00 pm , Good Friday, the ninth hour in Biblical and many other times.

Hi, Today as everyone knows is Good Friday. I was reading my bible and in the following verse it mentions about the sixth hour and the ninth hour. Luke 23:44-45 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, [45] for the sun stopped shining. And curtain of the temple was torn in two. I'm trying to figure out what time that is in GMT and the Israel local time. Is it 6pm Israel local time? If so, does the Sun shine there from 6pm to 9pm normally? I'm staying near the equator and the Sun rises and sets about 7am, 7pm (our local time is moved forward 1 hr so in solar time, it's 6am/6pm) respectively all year round. thx! weemeng --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
