Once every year on one day for one minute, the sun shines directly through the circular opening on the sculpture’s canopy and casts a perfect circle around its center bench. As inscribed on the center bench “On the day of summer solstice at solar noon between 1:31 and 1:32 PM a circle of sunlight will be cast around this circular seat.”

Additionally, thre is a small meteorite embedded in the central bench. Its inscription reads “In the center of this ring is a 4.5 billion year old meteorite said to have fallen to Earth in Dade County, Florida.” That’s about as old as the Earth is supposed to be.
