Galaxy: Earth Sphere is a 1989[1] fountain and sculpture by Joe Davis, installed in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.[2][3][4] The artwork was designed to emit streams of low-temperature steam from time to time, but the pipes sourcing this emission have been broken for some time.[2]
