About it
An armillary sphere made by Franciszek Słupski in 1771, scanned and drawn with splats. Its rings stand for the great circles of the sky: the equator, the tropics, the band the Sun follows through the year, round a small Earth at the middle. Astronomers used such spheres to teach how the sky moves.
Tap it and the inner rings turn inside the frame.
