Modern Armillary Sphere Sculpture at Chabot Space Center

Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 12:42:21 AM · Canon EOS R6m2

This image captures a modern interpretation of an armillary sphere - a traditional astronomical instrument - positioned on a plaza outside Chabot Space and Science Center. The sculpture features intersecting metallic rings in copper and darker metals, mounted on a circular base. The composition uses a low angle perspective that emphasizes the sculpture against the modern architecture of the science center, with its distinctive curved roof visible in the background. The late afternoon lighting creates a warm glow on the building's edge while maintaining detail in the sculpture's metallic surfaces.
