Hoberman sphere

One of Chuck Hoberman's best-known museum pieces, the original Hoberman Sphere was installed in 1992 as the central exhibit in the Liberty Science Center's atrium. The sphere was re-installed in 2007 in the newly renovated museum's entry hall. Suspended by cables, the 700-pound aluminum sphere expands and contracts smoothly and continuously. Throughout its long history, the sphere has become the icon for Liberty Science Center, logging millions of cycles.

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to sphere is sphere itself.

Sphere is my favorite Crichton book. Hated the movie though.

Shit, I only voted Bathysphere because I missed Escher's sphere. And because, as @Jarf noted, Labyrinth-Bowie's sphere was oddly absent. You know, Labyrinth wasn't made in modern times with our fancy 3D printing and acrylics galore… that shit was legit. glass.

ALSO:

I was there for this concert on the mall, and it was… I don't really like going to concerts, but this just felt like an unbelievable melding of spirits… it was a good experience because it was a social experience.

It was also a good experience because The Flaming Lips shot confetti all over the mall and told the audience we had to pick it up because the feds said they couldn't make a mess.

Dyson sphere. All these spheres are cool, but the Dyson Sphere qualifies a Type 2 Civilization on the Kardashev scale.

I worked as lead scenic artist for the medals stage @ the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The curtain for the stage was a 1/2-Hoberman sphere that opened and closed like a camera lens albeit with the Hoberman structure, It was amazing, and I was honored to meet Chuck Hoberman who gave me a little sphere keychain which I still have.
