Sundial on supernovae measurements

few months ago opened a new park in Badajoz. Located in the neighborhood of Valdepasillas, very close to Puente Real, known as Bioclimatic park to be located in front of the Institute of the same name. It was a long green space claimed by the locals since late last year, can finally enjoy a beautiful space in which to stroll, read a newspaper in the shade of trees or taking children to play.

Although

takes me too far, until yesterday I could not visit this park of over 10,000 square meters, I have to say I was surprised by its design and the number of people in him. Without doubt, the grateful sun that dawned on Palm Sunday, after several days of heavy rains (which I have in drydock in full holiday period, but that's another story), I had to do a lot with the environment that I could find. Very striking is the fountain that throws a powerful jet of water at high altitude, and the artificial waterfall that gives more background noise that refreshing.

addition to fountains, fences, playgrounds and other things typical of these spaces, the new park has a sundial which is why this entry, thus give some life to have enough left for a few weeks.

The idea and design was by the hand of Professor of Physics and Chemistry of IES "Zurbarán" of this city Pedro García Martín. It is appreciated that such initiatives are served by municipal managers.

is a sundial analemático type in which the user becomes the gnomon of the same Just stand in the horizontal panel at ground level at the point closest to the date on which we are to see your shadow standing on any of the items listed in the ellipse time and do a little math to know the exact clock time.

My daughter Lucy could not resist going to gnomon and we found that was the time with total accuracy. A pillar with a metal panel explains perfectly the instructions for use. A hit, no doubt, is of this type because it supports best possible acts of urban vandalism, that evil is so widespread ...

My congratulations to Professor Pedro Garcia and the Municipality of Badajoz for carrying out this curious and interesting building. Another reason to go to the park Bioclimatic.
