The Prague Astronomical Clock Simulator allows you to visualize the classic clock's movements at any location on the planet. Originally built in 1410, this simulator applies modern astronomical calculations to replicate the clock's display accurately, making it a fascinating tool for timekeeping and exploration.
Experience the beauty and precision of the Prague Astronomical Clock (Pražský Orloj) with this innovative simulator! Originally installed in 1410, the renowned medieval astronomical clock stands as a testament to timekeeping and craftsmanship, and now you can bring this historical marvel to your own location on Earth.
Features:
- Location Adaptability: Unlike the original clock designed to function specifically at Prague's latitude (50°N), this simulator allows you to set it for any geographical location.
- Time Visualization: Display the current time or select a specific time to observe how it would be represented by the clock, providing a unique perspective on timekeeping.
- Advanced Calculations: The simulator dynamically calculates the positions of the clock hands, hour dial, sun, moon, and ecliptic wheel using modern astronomical methods—while also accommodating mechanical clock timing.
