Thin, brilliant laser beams from every direction strike the sphere and instantly bounce back along their own paths, forming a dramatic radial starburst of glowing lines that pierce the darkness. The sphere sits utterly still, its surface glinting with precise reflections, while the air around it shimmers with the faint haze of scattered light.
