From NPS:
“The National Park Service (NPS) has installed a new armillary sphere on the lower plaza of Meridian Hill Park.
The new sphere is a replica based on the original armillary sphere approved by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) in 1929 and present in the park from 1932 until the late 1970s. The original sphere was 6 feet 6 inches high, 5 feet 8 inches in diameter, 17.79 feet in circumference and weighed 1,250 pounds. It was the focal point of the southern end of Meridian Hill Park. NPS removed it because of damage and vandalism. The pedestal remained in the park and will serve as the base for the new sphere.
NPS oversaw the re-creation of the new armillary sphere, which was designed using historic photographs and drawings. (more…)
