I've seen this thing. It's almost as big as the pair in my pants.
But seriously, it's quite large. I'll probably go see it again in a week or two (it's not really the star attraction, but if you go hang out downtown you might as well go up for one of the best city views in the world, and then turn around and look at the big ball for like 5 minutes.)
Also, there's 2 more of those things, just smaller.
