Stainless-steel globe ringed by three orbital tracks, centerpiece of the 1964-65 World's Fair.
This guide to the Unisphere in Queens traces the three rings circling its stainless-steel globe back to Yuri Gagarin, John Glenn, and the Telstar satellite, all within a few years of one another. It follows Robert Moses, the planner behind the 1964-65 World's Fair, and the crew who raised the twelve-story structure over a former garbage dump in just over a hundred days. The fair's banner across the gates read Peace Through Understanding.
