The ancient greek instrument Antikythera can replicate the motion of the heavens.
- It is named so because it was discovered from the wreck of an ancient cargo ship off the coast of Antikythera island in Greece in 1900
- An archaeologist named Valerios Stais noticed there was a gear wheel embedded in a piece of rock that he was studying from the shipwreck.
- It was an ancient mechanical device made up of more than 82 fragments which can be put in a wooden box containing complex gear assembly
- Based on X-ray and gamma ray photographs of the fragments British science historian Derek J. de Solla Price and physicist Charalampos Karakalos hypothesized that the device had been used to calculate the motions of stars and planets. Making it famous as the first known analog computer.
- Further research indicated that the other moving gears rotated around mechanism's main wheel, indicating that the device was specifically designed based on Greek notion of "epicyclic" motion.
- The device could accurately reproduce the motion of the Sun and Moon, as well as the planets Mercury and Venus but not Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
- The lost extra gears which model Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn may have been part of an upper layer of the device.
