Bronze Armillary Dial By Authentic Models

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.Specifications Product Dimensions: 14.4" H Shipping: UPS Product Material: Brass & Chrome Product Color: Bronze Finished Product SKU: GL052 Product UPC: 781934551218 Brand: Authentic Model Returns & Exchanges Non-returnable.
