The sky is fascinating, if you're fortunate enough to live somewhere where you can see it well. I was just enthralled with it when I was a kid. These days, though, I live a few miles from Houston, Texas in the USA (Houston is one of the nation's largest cities), and I can see about ten stars. I'm exaggerating a little, but... it's pretty sad. Very hard to really make out the constellations, so there's really not a good way to "roadmap" the sky. It's a sad truth of the modern world that a large fraction of us live under such conditions, give how the trend toward urbanization has gone. Our ancestors had it much better - basically EVERYONE could look up at the sky and have a full appreciation of it.
@wuxlahero4948, the tides depend on where the moon is in the sky. When the moon is right over you or exactly opposite side of the Earth from you, it's high tide. When the moon is at the 90-degree points in between, it's low tide. So somehow that reverse side must be having you do something related to the moon.
I don't think it is appropriate to say they are not accurate. If they were bigger you could get minute accuracy on the sundial. And, accuracy, the sun is the ultimate time keeper.
Does not work in southern hemisphere! No Polaris to be seen! And hard to calculate exactly where South Pole is relative to Southern Cross. But also the numerals all need to be reversed since the skies are upside down ( the moon is upside down image believe me or google!)
Tip of the day: 3rd graders are smarter than you. Learn some basic math and do some simple experiments, like holding a ball in the sunlight and observing what the shadows do. (Yes. I know. You already have. The problem is that there is a MASSIVE operator error somewhere along the line.)
Furthermore, what's the big secret about? What does anyone have to gain by this MASSIVE lie and cover up? It used to be globally accepted that the Earth was flat. Life simply went on as usual. Why the change? To what end was this "ridiculous theory" pushed on us?
@@Trustee-of-The-Most-High Lmao. You guys are literally like arguing with a mentally disabled 5 year old with anger issues. I've found a long time ago that it isn't worth debating you people. Keep making yourself look stupid. I don't care one way or the other. 😂
Totally cool, me too, I got the pocket sundial hanging from my mirror, I'll have to get the nocturnal now :b
Very impressive!! It is as if it is a key to open a secret portal to another world.
Haha true

wow!
This is so cool and looks fantastic!
Thanks for sharing!
Very cool! Reminds me of something the great Discoverers and Navigators would carry in the early 1500s.
that would be the most challenging tutorial ever, but probably the most awesome too!
I just bought these too! Can you do a tutorial on the tides calculator on the reverse if the nocturnal?

Awesome, please review more items like this.
When do we get the the full review and tutorial?
Where do I buy this, it's amazing!!
I left the link in the description
Much like the spart phone, smart watch... The users become dumb.
Using an astrolabe? 😎 That be a smart human.
Looks like it should be in a Marvel movie :)
How is setting the date, looking at the North Star through a hole, and lining a little pointer up with a second star "quite a bit complicated"?
Don't ever overestimate the intelligence level of the average person.
@@American-Plague Well, that is true, isn't it? Sadly. 😞
@@KipIngram Yep. It's an unfortunate situation we're all in.
😍 totally love it.
Amazing video
Thank You ...
Hide it away from Lara Croft. I see tutorial might be much longer.
Beware, the Nocturnal Dial only works in the Northern Hemisphere.
Very cool time device! Only problem is when you are in a hurry and you don't have time to see what time it is :)
modern day society problems... back then they ware rarely in a hurry except when a predator was chasing them
If you actually need to use this, you'll have plenty of time
Dang I paid quite a lot more than that when I bought a set for my dh last week
Because you bought the set and not one

Tip of the day
Sundials only work on a flat stationary earth

I add my voice to @Goran Jakopovic - Very cool!
