An astrarium , also called a planetarium , is the mechanism technology mechanical representation of the cyclic nature of astronomical object s in one timepiece. It is an astronomical clock . History Greek and Roman World Image NAMA Machine d Anticyth re 1.jpg right thumb 250px The Antikythera mechanism main fragment The first astraria were mechanical devices. Archimedes is said to have used a primitive version that could predict the positions of the sun , the moon , and the planet s. On May 17, 1902 an archeologist named Valerios Stais discovered a lump of oxidated material with in it a mechanism with gear cogwheels in a Antikythera wreck shipwreck near Antikythera . This mechanism, known as the Antikythera mechanism , was recently redated between 150 to 100 B.C http www.antikythera mechanism.gr .

Engraved on the major gears are the names of the planets such as Venus , which leaves little doubt as to the intended use of the mechanism. However, before the end of the Roman Empire, the know how and science behind this piece of clockwork would be lost. Middle Ages and Renaissance The first documented astrarium clock was completed in 1364 by Giovanni de Dondi 1318 1389 , a scholar and physician of the Middle Ages interested in astronomy and horology . The original clock, consisting of 107 wheels and pinion s, was lost, perhaps during the sacking of Mantua in 1630, but de Dondi left detailed descriptions which have survived, enabling the reconstruction of the clock.
