Astronominis kalendorius

LT Lietuviu astronomijos žinios siekia akmens amžiu. Laiko skaiciavimas ir Dievai buvo siejami su dangaus objektais. Astronominiai stebejimai turejo praktine reikšme to meto žmogaus gyvenime.

Didysis saules kalendoriaus stulpas yra kompozicijos centre. Ji kerta pagrindine ašis, orientuota šiaures-pietu kryptimi. Ant šios dienovidžio linijos išdestyti akmenys su švenciu datomis ir menesio ženklais runomis. Pagrindinio stulpo šešelis vidurdieni (Kretingos laiku 12.43 val.) sutampa su dienovidinio ašimi. Švenciu ir metu laikai skaiciuojami pagal saules spindulio vieta vidurdieni pagrindineje ašyje. Iš cia atidedamos saules laikrodžio valandos.
