  • Equator Museum Real Position

  • Discovering the actual geographic equator lies 50 meters north of the equatorial museum.

  • Equatorial Discrepancy

    • On March 8, 2013, I commented on my recent trip to Ecuador.
    • I visited the equatorial museum and observed that the demonstrations of equator-specific physical properties (like water draining direction or balance) are essentially "mystery spot" magic tricks.
    • My iPhone GPS confirmed that the actual equator was 50 meters to the north, right at the museum's front entrance door.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
