Summary

Description

A Chinese Armillary Sphere.

This picture was taken in July 2004 from an exhibition at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, California. Kowloonese

---

This appears to me to be the armillary sphere that resides in the National Museum of Science and Technology in en:Taichung, Taiwan. -- Dominus 16:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I guess there are many replicas of this armillary sphere. This copy was on display in a road show in California. The exhibition lasted a few months and was organised by some organization from mainland China. Obviously they didn't take it from Taichung. Kowloonese 19:35, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
