On your spheres, Im noticing that I can see 3 corners of that square that's beneath them... I dont think that would happen in real life, and I wonder why it happens like that.

Actually in real life the 3 corners will reflect in a sphere. I took a square piece of papaer and placed a chrome sphere, one of a pair of hand exercise type, and 3 corners were visable. The sphere will reflect up to 180 degrees. Thanks for pointing that out, I learned something new. TMG

Cool work. These are nicely made probes. Will you be making copies available? And yes the three corners are correct. Actually based upon incidence angle/normal aspect as one approaches the limb of a reflective surface such a sphere may actually capture greater than 180 degrees of azimuth based on sphere center.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
