I love that machine, it's so fascinating!
Yeah, one of the theories is that it is capable of 'calculating' the movements of constellations and planets, perhaps in aide to navigation, sort of like a calendar or almanac that you can "dial in" the day/time/week sort of deal and find out where a particular [constellation] will be.
I think there is a similar replica in one of the Boston MA museums.
If I had a time machine and money I'd go snatch one
