An armillary sphere is basically a skeletal celestial sphere with a model of the Earth placed in the center. The armillary can actually tell the position of stars as well as time. It is accurate even though it was built on the premise that everything revolved around the Earth and not the sun. It's origins are in question as to whether the Greeks or Chinese developed it first. But no matter the origin it will make a grand centerpiece in your garden or home.
