The Antikythera mechanism (/ ˌ æ n t ɪ k ɪ ˈ θ ɪər ə / AN-tih-kih-THEER-ə) is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery, described as the oldest example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. It could also be used to track the four-year cycle of athletic games which was similar to an Olympiad, the cycle of the ancient Olympic …

Het mechanisme van Antikythera (ca. 140- 80 v.Chr.) is een analoge computer die in 1901 uit een gezonken schip werd opgedoken, in de buurt van het Griekse eiland Antikythera.Het apparaat, met 29 (andere bronnen spreken van 37) door corrosie aangetaste bronzen tandwielen is te zien in het Nationaal Archeologisch Museum van Athene en bleek gebruikt te kunnen …

Antikythera / ˌ æ n t ɪ k ɪ ˈ θ ɪər ə / or Anticythera (Greek: Ἀντικύθηρα [andiˈciθira]) is a Greek island lying on the edge of the Aegean Sea, between Crete and Peloponnese.In antiquity the island was known as Aigilia (Αἰγιλία).Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality of Kythira island.. Antikythera may also refer to the Kythira ...

Der Mechanismus von Antikythera ist ein antikes, mit einer astronomischen Uhr vergleichbares Gerät, das mit Hilfe von Zahnrädern und Zifferblättern astronomisch-kalendarische Zusammenhänge zeigte. Der Mechanismus wurde im Jahr 1900 von Schwammtauchern zusammen mit anderen Funden in einem Schiffswrack vor der griechischen Insel Antikythera …

Sep 22, 2022 · The Antikythera Mechanism consists of some 82 fragments today, but only roughly a third of the original device is believed to survive. Researchers have known that the device was a calendar for ...

History. The earliest known example of a clockwork mechanism is the Antikythera mechanism, a first-century BC geared analogue computer, somewhat astrolabe-like, for calculating astronomical positions and eclipses, recovered from a Greek shipwreck.There are many other accounts of clockwork devices in ancient Greece, even in its mythology, and the …

The Antikythera mechanism was an orrery and is considered an early mechanical analog computer, according to Derek J. de Solla Price. It was designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was discovered in 1901 in the Antikythera wreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, between Kythera and Crete, and has been dated to c. 100 BC during the Hellenistic period of …

The Antikythera mechanism, discovered in 1901 in a wreck off the Greek island of Antikythera in the Mediterranean Sea, (it now resides in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens) and extensively studied, exhibited the diurnal motions of the Sun, Moon, and the five known planets.It has been dated between 150 and 100 BC. The Antikythera hand-driven mechanism is now …

The Antikythera mechanism predicts the equinoxes and solstices. Illumination of Earth by the Sun at the equinox The relation between the Earth, Sun, and stars at the March equinox. From Earth's perspective, the Sun appears to move along the ecliptic (red), which is tilted compared to the celestial equator (white).
