Wikipedia Definitions for Orbs & Spheres (and brassieres):

The word “orb”, from the Latin orbis ‘circle’, is another name for a round object, especially a disk or a sphere. In astrology, orb refers to the difference between the exactness of an astrological aspect. In optics, orb refers to an unexpected and often circular photographic artifact.

A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space, such as the shape of a round ball. Like a circle in two dimensions, a perfect sphere is completely symmetrical around its center, with all points on the surface lying the same distance from the center point.

Celestial spheres, or celestial orbs, were the fundamental entities of the cosmological models developed by Plato, Eudoxus, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus and others. In these celestial models the stars and planets are carried around by being embedded in rotating spheres made of an ethereal transparent fifth element (quintessence), like jewels set in orbs. In the heliocentric celestial orbs model introduced by Copernicus, the ascending order of the planets and their spheres going outwards from the Sun at the centre was Mercury, Venus, Earth-Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

In modern science, the orbits of the planets are simply the paths of those planets through mostly empty space. For medieval scholars, on the other hand, celestial spheres were actually thick spheres of rarefied matter nested one within the other, each one in complete contact with the sphere above it and the sphere below.

A brassiere, commonly referred to as a bra is an undergarment that covers, supports and elevates the breasts. Since the late 19th century, it has replaced the corset as the most widely accepted method for supporting the breasts. Women can choose from a wide assortment of bras for a variety of purposes: to enhance the perceived shape of her breasts, to minimize or to enlarge the perceived breast size, to restrain breast movement during an activity such as exercise, to enhance her cleavage, to conceal her nipples, to overcome sagging, for prosthetic purposes, or to facilitate nursing. Women’s breasts vary widely in size and shape. Most are asymmetric to a degree and can change from month to month depending upon a variety of factors. The bra has also become a garment with erotic significance and a feminine icon or symbol with political and cultural significance beyond its primary function.
