Matt Parker explains how the Greenwich Observatory defines the Prime Meridian
I knew about some of this stuff from Isaac Asimov articles, but I still learned a lot from the video. Such as how the actual Prime Meridian moved to more precise locations as the measurement equipment got more precise. Until 1984 when they gave up and just picked a line independent of the stars in the sky.
