Corona mobile

In the science world, the term Corona refers to a type of plasma atmosphere belonging to a celestial body, extending light years into space and most easily spotted during a solar eclipse. The Corona mobile is an elegant representation of this space-based phenomenon. The mobile creates intricate patterns of interweaving circles that gently rotate. There are five silver circles orbiting the central silver sphere to create an artistic impression of orbit pathways.
