@gnomoncryptics.bsky.social I came across a fun sundial / armillary sphere / gnomon this week and thought of you!

A sundial made out of an armillary sphere, with an arrow as the gnomon

Plaque from by the sundial, saying it was put there by the British Sundial Society, at their 2019 conference.

It's funny how the stakes were raised so high in season one that ep. 1 of Season 2 goes "so we built an airport" and it's just not surprising at all.
