Sciartober Day 27: Spin. I started to think of the spinning Earth and remembered Foucault’s Pendulum. It was invented by French physicist Leon Foucault to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. #sciart #sciartober #sciartober2023 #spin #foucaultpendulum

I passed by twice. At 14:44 the pendulum was between U and S. At 15:19 above the M. In Paris you expect a full circle in 31h50mn. #FoucaultPendulum #PenduleDeFoucault
