Where are they?
What time is it for the Jovians?
See at a glance where our planets are.
Where in their orbit around the sun....
Where they are in their own day...
Can be done I think.
Made some sketches years ago.
Made some sketches years ago.
Disaster!!!!
Pluto is concidered a planet, I never did!
OOOOF, back to 8 planets.
Still need 20!! meters.
Then finally found them.
All 20 of them, all the same.
All in bakelite, exactly what's needed.
They are the indicators.
Drew it all up in a cad system...
Top row: our own time system,
days devided in hours
hours devided in minutes
minutes devided in seconds..
Useful?
Then per planet:
the planetary day, also called sidereal day
And its sidereal year...
That needs some serious slow counting...
146 Earth's years for one on Neptune...
I'll never even see the needle move!

The Analogue Planetarium - You'll never see the needle move - I had a car like that. The engine copped it and I'll never see it move. Dreams, dreams, dreams...
Cool idea though. You should make a digital watch that shows the Jovian's day date year time etc but that could also show our earthly time at the touch of a button. Beat the crap out of all those expensive watch-makers who think that its cool to show 'our' moons cycle - Wow - Bet you it would be the new craze with all the teenagers to be able to give the Jovian time.
An internet site with the Jovian time to see how many 'hits' you get cuold show the interest...
