Dear Marcelo, Many thanks for your reply...
> ...the republic was officially proclaimed > (signed) at 8:30 am on 15 November 1889 That is very impressive. Most people I know are hardly awake so early in the morning. > Methinks it [sidereal time] is mentioned > in the legislation to avoid ambiguity... This is even more impressive. If I asked someone to come to see me at a particular sidereal time, I would be surprised if the appointment was kept! > Unfortunately the Brazilian public education, > which was of good quality till thirty or > forty years ago, has continually declined... Hmmm. Alas, Brazil is not alone with this problem :-( Frank --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
