The Greenwich meridian is a prime meridian, a geographical reference line that passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, England dividing the world into East and West. From 1884-1974 the GML was used worldwide for timekeeping and navigation. Since 1974, the Meridian, is based on the Greenwich meridian but differs slightly. - Anytime I encounter the GML I always find it fun to jump over it, cartwheel 🤸 if you can! Do it as a group! There’s always a couple of giggles, even if they’re solo giggles 🤭

The "invention" of the prime meridian - or more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running through this point as the central orientation line - in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, at that time of particular importance for seafaring. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the earth, coordinates based on this principle are still used to determine locations.
