In an August 27 lecture that filled the 715-seat Statler Auditorium, Bill Nye presented a personal look at his lifelong interest in science and sundials. Nye talked about his father's passion for sundials and timekeeping, his time at Cornell, his work on the sundials mounted on the Mars rovers and the story behind the Bill Nye Solar Noon Clock.
