Another take on "Time" from the world of astronomy. One of the daily newspapers publishes a map of the visible heavens at a certain latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Where or where can one find the same for the Southern Hemisphere view. My own astronomy was learnt in the Southern Hemisphere as a child and it is quite uninspiring to be always confronted with the Northern one. Is this an opening for an aspiring web magnate? To publish maps of the heavens from one own's vantage point, at the push of a button. Wonderful when going on holiday, get in from the view of one's familiarity and move over to the latitude / longtitude of one's visit and get into Sidereal Time.
