The Prime Meridian

Located in East London is the Royal Greenwich Observatory.  Passing directly through the observatory is an imaginary line that extends from the North Pole to the South Pole.  This line is significant because it is the reference point for every other line of longitude in the world.  What is even more remarkable is that there is no objective reason for this particular line to be so important.  Learn more about the Prime Meridian and why it is where it is on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
