This is a short sample of the complete emulation of the Antikythera mechanism on the Squeak EToys environment. The emulator's construction follows the recent findings of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project. This sample illustrates the gears calculating the eclipse of the Moon and the Sun according to the Saros cycle. You can download the emulator from http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/ameso The animation is part of an invited talk at the 2009 USENIX Annual Technical Conference.
