The human sundial project consists of the construction of an
oval sundial approximately 25’ by 18’ in front of the Estes Park Memorial
Observatory. The sundial gnomon (the part that casts the shadow)
will be a person. Concrete pavers (bricks) will be used to fill in and
surround the sundial. The pavers will be engraved with individual messages
and sold to the public to support the observatory and it’s programs.
The project is a cooperative effort with the local Estes Park Noon Rotary. The Community Service Committee of the Rotary Club has undertaken a
cooperative venture with the Observatory to build the sundial
as part of their annual community service project. Bricks are $100
each with all profits going to support the observatory and school astronomy
projects
