These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Look carefully and you'll spot a temporary visitor as well! ("Mouseover" the image for some guidance to nomenclature.)
