The story
In 1999 treasure hunters digging illegally on a hilltop near Nebra, in central Germany, unearthed a bronze disc about a foot across, inlaid with gold. Recovered by police in 2002, the Nebra sky disc is around 3,600 years old and is the oldest known concrete depiction of the cosmos: a golden sun or full moon, a crescent moon and a scatter of stars, including a tight cluster most scholars read as the Pleiades. Gold arcs along its edges mark the span of sunrise and sunset between the solstices.
This design shows a Bronze Age man on a green hilltop holding the disc up to the night sky, where the real Pleiades shine beside it. High above sweeps a modern space observatory, the kind launched in 2013 to map more than a billion stars. The same question, asked 3,600 years apart.
