You have probably seen an armillary sphere in a garden, interlocking spheres, often with an arrow. They are also called an equatorial sundial. Even before they were used as decorative garden features, armillary spheres were sophisticated instruments used to map the solar system. Before telescopes were invented, the armillary sphere was how astronomers determined celestial positions. It acted as a model of objects in the sky. The rings were used to demonstrate the movement of the stars around the Earth.There are two different types of armillary spheres. The Ptolemaic has the Earth as center. The Copernican has the Sun as center.

Orb, Globe and Armillary Chandeliers are available in a lot of styles and price points.
