Man Enters The Cosmos
Made by Michael DaKidd
So reads the title on the plaque at the Henry Moore Sundial Sculpture, in the Sundial Plaza at Adler Planetarium. This art is a representation of a bowstring equatorial sundial, a variation of the classic equatorial sundial. In this design, shadow is cast upon a single time scale all year long, regardless of the sun's position in our sky, so that it gives an accurate reading even on equinox dates. www.wsanford.com/~wsanford/exo/sundials/aphmbes.html
