Bronze Armillary Dial with Galaxy Sphere with Exquisite Design

Early man, looking at the heavens, believed the stars were fixed to the inside surface of a rotating sphere. Copernicus gave his name to the theory of an Earth-centered universe, and the Vatican propagated his belief by threatening to burn science heretics at the stake for stating otherwise. We now know that we live on the fringe of a nearly infinite and ever expanding universe. Armillary dials have the earth positioned inside a mesh of bronze hoops, symbolizing the course of the planets as known at the time. The course of the sun is shown by a wide band called the ecliptic circle.

To follow the unexplored coastlines, looking for a port of call. Wondering which people, which culture, what level of technology will be found beyond the horizon. Space travel of today was exploration in the past...Our Globes offer casual history; make adventure and exploration real, enabling us to see the world through the eyes of explorers and navigators centuries ago.
