Original bronze fragments of the 2,000-year-old Antikythera Mechanism, including the largest, Fragment A (center). Together, some 85 fragments reveal a highly sophisticated mechanism with about 30 geared wheels and plates, apparently to calculate the time and positions of various planetary, solar, and lunar events.
