Equinoctial Dial, by Juan Cocart, Spanish, 1596 (Inv. 51773) This object is in the Museum’s collections.

Name: Elisa

Age: 29

Occupation: PhD Candidate

From: Madrid, Spain

Object: Equinoctial Dial, by Juan Cocart, Spanish, 1596

Story: I have found many scientific objects with this inscription “Juani Cocart me fe. 1596” (made by Juan Cocart in 1596) around the world, which make me think about science travelling through space and time!
