The Prague astronomical clock is a medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest clock still in operation.

The clock mechanism has three main components – the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.

31.08.23 // Blue Supermoon and Saturn

Tonight is the second Full Moon of the calendar month, which is often called the Blue Moon, although it doesn’t actually turn blue.

Tonight is also a Supermoon - Full Moon at the moment of maximum or almost maximum approach of the Moon to the Earth - making this the largest and brightest Full Moon in 2023.

In addition, Saturn is now next to the Moon.

An outpost of the Khajiiti Space Program

Ever wonder about the mysterious workings of the "Khajiiti Space Program"? Well walker, rest assured – the mystique shall remain! Expect no sensible elucidation whatsoever from this verdant astronomical outpost.

This is a build that's really special to me:

I love Khajiiti aesthetics, environments and lore – especially their astronomical endeavors (which inspired my ESO username back in 2014 / Beta):

"Khajiit will stand tall as Alkosh, cat upon cat upon cat. And in doing so, it will climb to the moon as it has been told so many times. ... Khajiit saw reason in these words and so it climbed and climbed, cat upon cat, for a hundred days. Much sugar was brought there to support the climbers and in the end Khajiit climbed high, so very high that it was in fact closer to Jo'Segunda than to Nirni below."
