Astrock, the Astronomical Clock 1.0 released

Astrock, the Astronomical Clock 1.0 released

Looking for a clock that offers a real-time sky map, daylight awareness and a bird’s eye view to planet positions? This mesmerizing time piece called Astrock offers an all-in-one solution, combining the sun, moon and planets as they move across the sky using a captivating medieval astrolabe.


Medieval Astrolabe

The clock was inspired by the astonishing astronomical clock (Orloj) in Prague, which is a major tourist attraction to this day. Dated back to 1410 AD the clock in Prague was a technical and mathematical masterpiece of that time. Two hundred years later it inspired astronomer Johannes Kepler to write his famous laws. And now the clock enhances the imagination and thirst for knowledge even six hundred years later.

The clock travels in your pocket all around the world, both literally and imaginary. At each destination Astrock displays the sky as the original Orloj would, as if it had been built for that very location. The next snapshot reveals the sky taken at the Nordkapp, the northernmost point of Europe, where polar day and night occur. The light blue colors reveal that the sun is never high and the soft yellow light known from photography as magic hour, can last for a third of the day.


Everyday use

However, Astrock is intended for everyday life, as the original Orloj used to be. Here are a few of the interesting things it can tell us. It is around a quater to nine pm and the sun sets. It becomes dark at half past nine pm, but actual night won’t start until almost a quater to midnight. The dawn is as early as ten minutes to five. The Moon, currently waxing crescent, is floating above the western horizon just about to set. It is still quite light for planet observations, but in a few moments it gets dark and Saturn will be visible with some luck, a little ahead of the Moon. Within an hour we might also see the rise of Jupiter, which will be low in the sky for almost the entire night.
