Florida - Orlando: EPCOT Center =>Spaceship EARTH, Walt Disney World
Spaceship Earth (height 180 feet / 55 m) is a geodesic sphere that serves as the symbolic structure of Epcot.
Geometrically, Spaceship Earth is derived from the Class 2 geodesic polyhedron with frequency of division equal to 8. Each face of the polyhedron is divided into three isosceles triangles to form each point. In theory, there are 11.520 total isosceles triangles forming 3.840 points; but minus doors and support structure there are actually only 11.324 silvered facets.
