Location:
  • University of Arizona campus, at Flandrau Planetarium and Science Center on the corner of Cherry and University
 
Description:
  • Painted analemma on sidewalk outside planetarium entrance. Approx. 15 ft. wide. The dial is corrected for longitude and has a central analemma. Painted instructions instruct one to stand on a north-south meridian line. Unfortunately during a restoration, the north-south meridian line was not repainted. Since the analemma has dates still visible, people mistakenly stand on the analemma instead of the meridian, causing time errors.
