What did you think of todays' episode?
It's been awhile, did you miss the random history? Hope so!
So if you know what a time ball is, you know it's now new at all. But, it is space, time, ships, and timing a ball.
Joined by Trisha, we go over what a time ball is, where it originated from, and we discuss the most famous one of them all--the New Year's Eve time-ball in Times Square in New York City.
And also go over some of the history of New Year's Eve in Time Square, because I can't talk about science things without some history, you feel me?
You can find mostly non operational Time Balls all over the world from Africa, Australia, Europe, and the United States--even the Titanic Memorial in New York City has a Time Ball.
