THE Big Dipper's angle can be used to tell time at northern latitudes. It stays in the sky all night. I was told by a Blackfoot elder that they used it as a clock on clear nights.

The position changes with both time of night and time of year. Regular observers can tell time by the angle the constellation sits at.

My digital watch, a Pebble, stopped working. The company who maintained it got bought by Garmin. Garmin broke my digital watch 🙃.

I met one who did. He called it 'sungazing' and was certain that the practice charged him with positive healing energy. He figured it was safe because he did it near sunrise and sunset. He was trying to look a little longer each time and build his endurance and get more sun energy. I haven't seen him in a few years so I can't update on outcomes.

YouTube is one hell of a drug. I hope he has moved onto less harmful beliefs.

openmedia.ca fights the fight in Canada. I'm not aware of any global organizations of that type.
