Professor Gareth Wynn-Williams of the Institute for Astronomy will lecture on the ancient Greek enigma, "The Antikythera Mechanism."
Recent X-ray analysis of the encrusted piece of bronze from a 2000-year-old Greek shipwreck shows it to be an astronomical computing device of astonishing complexity. What did it do? What purpose did it serve? Join us to find out!
This event is open to the public free of charge.
