Oregon Scientific Weather in Motion Atomic Desktop Weather Station Clock

When it comes to weather stations Oregon Scientific can consistently be relied upon to produce some of the most desirable gadgetry available and now, following on from their quite magnificent BA900 Crystal Weather Station, we have this frankly gorgeous Weather in Motion desktop clock to further highlight why it is that we hold Oregon Scientific in such high esteem.

Serving not only as a compact weather station but also as an atomic alarm clock, the Weather in Motion features motion sensing technology that will see the information on the screen change according to your proximity – thus changing from a clock with a basic weather display (courtesy of a series of icons) to a detail the indoor and outdoor temperatures (complete with trend indicator) with larger weather icons. The clock can even be set to auto scroll the resulting information across its screen at a five second interval.

Weather in Motion Features:

* Features infrared motion sensor for display change (sensor detection range: 0.5 to 2 feet)
* Near mode—Displays time, indoor and outdoor temperature and weather forecast
* Far mode—Displays time, day of the week and weather forecast
* Displays indoor and outdoor temperature (up to 3 channels)
* Displays weather forecasts with graphical icons: Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy
* Automatically sets itself to the U.S. Atomic Clock and adjusts for Daylight Saving Time
* User selectable 12-24 hour format clock with crescendo alarm with 8-minute snooze function
* Weekday selectable in 5 languages: English, French, Danish, Italian and Spanish
* Time zone settings: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern
* Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature display

Admittedly, you’re either ‘into’ the weather or you’re not – but if you are then we think you’ll agree that this one seriously desirable gadget.

Stargazing during the month will give fine displays of celestial bodies, stars and constellations after sunset and before sunrise. The famous Summer Triangle of the stars Vega, Deneb and Altair of the constellations Lyra, Aquila and Cygnus, respectively, is being well placed above the eastern horizon, as shown in Figure 1. The bowls of the Big and Small Dipper in Ursa Major and Minor stand high above the northern horizon with the body of the constellation Draco, the Dragon winding between them. The grouping of a horseshoe shape stars of the constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, lies on the north-south meridian with the head of Draco below it. The constellation of Scorpio is positioned above the east-south eastern horizon, while the constellations of Centaurus, the Centaur and Acrux, the Southern Cross is just above the south direction after sunset. .
