The ‘Twilight-setting’ Star Globe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Abstract
A star globe is described which can be immediately set up for evening or morning twilight by adjusting the latitude and date only; no reference to the Almanac is involved. The azimuth of the below-horizon Sun is also directly evident. The paper discusses the theory involved, and the accuracy attainable both with and without certain simple corrections.
