The Oldest Working Astronomical Clock Is In Prague
The Prague Astronomical Clock is among the oldest fully functional astronomical clocks in the world! This means that it can tell the time and display more information about the moon, sun, planets, and even zodiac constellations. It is also called the Orloj and had to be made with numerous layers to add the time and locations of the astronomical bodies. Aside from showing the time, the main face of the clock also features glyphs showing ancient Czech time and Roman numerals showing 24-hour time. The face comes in different shades of blue and red to represent the different parts of the day. At the center of the dial, you will find the Earth. How gorgeous is that?
