Description
Architect: Gilmore D. Clarke

The centerpiece of the 1964 New York World's Fair, this sphere is one of the few remaining structures left in the Queens fairground.

In the 1997 movie "Men in Black", there is a scene at the end of the movie where the Unisphere is attacked by flying saucers.
