Bernal Interior
This illustration created by artist Rick Guidice shows the interior of a Bernal Sphere space colony concept. Inside the sphere gravity is strongest along the equator. As one moves toward the center gravity lessens and one could fly easily. Sunlight enters as shown by the large fuzzy ring. The central tube connects to other sections of the colony.
