APOD 3.2

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download 
the highest resolution version available.

This strange mechanism was found at the bottom of the sea in a shipwreck that occurred over 1000 years ago. The technology is amazingly advanced for its time and it astounds scientists in all fields, especially astronomers. It seems that this device can accurately predict where the stars will be and it isn't much bigger than a book. It is amazing that the people of this time had such advanced technology when it only appeared hundreds of years later in other places and civilizations. This could be one of the big breaks in the history of astronomy that no one even heard of.
