Antikythera Mechanism

High tech x-rays and scans reveal some to the secrets of the ancient clock discovered 100 years ago by divers off the Greek island Antikythera. Mike Edmunds of the University of Cardiff is one of the scientific team working on this project. The project website provides some information, as does a 2007 NewYorker article and many additional websites. Articles from the journal Nature may be accessed through the Marriott Library on-line journal data base.
