What time is it?

Molly examines our sundial in an effort to read the time. Unfortunately, it is a cloudy day, so she is not getting any answers.

(If you are unfamiliar with this kind of timepiece, you might want to read about the armillary sphere. This can be a complex object, used to represent most objects in the sky. At its simplest, as in this picture, it throws the shadow of the arrow on a graded circular scale, from which time can be read - on a suitably sunny day!)
