just wanted to say the bright white core itself from my viewing distance looked like the size of a large grapefruit and the blue green teal radiated from back bottom of core and inside corner end of tail...beautiful majestic then scary

almost perfect circle, looked slightly flawed around edges, the ball itself was bright white not brilliant and so was tail which had hues of light green and blue that merged into teal
