Happy ! Did you know that ancient Greeks had a way of predicting solar eclipses?
The mechanism, discovered off the coast of Greece in 1901, was a very complex system of 37 gear wheels that was used to model the orbits of the moon and the sun. It's an ancient analog computer! Check out the Antikythera Google Doodle
