I asked Opus 5.5 to rebuild the Antikythera Mechanism, a Greek computer over 2,000 years old. Turn the crank, pick a date, it shows the sky: Sun, Moon phase, planets, calendar, next eclipse. The test: start at the 2009 eclipse, turn one Saros, land on 2 Aug 2027. Same day as NASA. 69 gears. Every frame is code, even the music. Play with it: https://antikythera-5s1.pages.dev
