Sphere within a Sphere

Look what fell out of the sky and just missed the Vatican. Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro constructed this monumental orb as the centerpiece of the Courtyard of the Pinecone at the Vatican Museum. The structure titled Sphere within a Sphere, is a bronze statue that appears golden as the sun shines down on it. What's the universe trying to tell us?

ps: don't worry, Fredje, it's not real.

It's like some alien doomsday device waiting to activate! A beautiful work of art!! Would be cool if the sphere inside rotated too....I also want to push it and watch it roll over people....
