Giant Cogs
Friday, 30th June 2006 by James Turnbull
On the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine there's giant cogs! They were left over parts from the world's largest clock, which spanned 600m across the coast and was used by scientists in Mir space station to tell the time. Honest. It's not a hotel. That would be silly.
Thanks: Old (Funny name...)
Cool, does anyone have a ground photo of this???
The three cogs in the middle aren’t going to be turning very fast.
In fact, it was Mir’s alarm clock. They didn’t want the cosmonauts pushing the snooze button.

it IS actually a hotel. the big ring is 1-2 floors high, the small 3 ones are 3 or 4.
I’ll look thru my photos of Crimea and post out a link to a ground pic of that / if I find one.
It’s funny how some people lack any understanding of humor whatsoever :-)))) Of COURSE it si a hotel!
Looks like a giant Norelco.
here is the ground picture of the cog device 😀 http://www3.tour.crimea.com/NAVIGATOR/ABOUT_CRIMEA/PICTURES/kurpaty.jpg
