      ab: The article discusses the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project, led by fillmmaker Tony Freeth. The project was initiated in order to discover more about what archaeologists call the first computer. The mechanism is the earliest example of a bronze geared device. CT scans and x-rays have been used to reveal the device's inner workings. Researchers have found that the device is an astronomical calculator with the ability to predict lunar and solar eclipses.
