Long Description:
This giant sundial graces the front rose garden of the Morehead
Planetarium and Observatory at UNC, Chapel Hill. It is about 35
feet in diameter. As the story goes, the planetarium director
insisted that the sundial be "accurate enough to catch a train".
While passenger trains no longer stop in Chapel Hill, this is one
remarkably accurate sundial.
