Radar dome. This is a geodesic dome, one constructed of a network of struts that lie on geodesics of the sphere. A geodesic (or great circle) is a circle that has the same diameter as the sphere, and hence shares a centre with it. Structures based on geodesics are very strong and lightweight. Photographed at a military base in Iceland.
