terrestrial sphere

Every day our terrestrial sphere revolves into and out of the sun’s light, irrespective of what we on its surface codify into laws and regardless of what numbers we display on our clocks.

The ongoing and all too frequently unacknowledged devastation of the terrestrial sphere lurks always in the background.

In the mound, it is possible to see the entire order of the terrestrial sphere or, in more modern language, the progress from local to global.

The overall tenor of the scene — the brilliant sun above, a pale crescent moon below the terrestrial sphere — suggests that these are the great astronomers of history, engaged in discussions about the design of the universe.

In fact so certain were they that the earth's true figure is a sphere that Eratosthenes in the third century B. C. made the first measure of the dimensions of the terrestrial sphere by a method geometrically exact.
