The structure has been balancing on this spot since the 1970's. It originated as part of a shady real-estate venture gone sour. The development went bankrupt by 1972. The only thing to come of the whole ordeal was the 40 foot wide globe, then known as the Dinesphere. It was intended to be a restaurant and nightclub for future residents. In 1981, a Wyoming resident bought it for his wife as a birthday present. The couple spent several winters making the diminutive Death Star fully operational. They installed all the household essentials and split the building into three levels to create 3,400 square feet of living space: the kitchen on the bottom, the living room in the middle and the bedrooms, with the best view, at the top. Each floor was equipped with its own bathroom. The Wyoming couple sold the property and it remains private property of new owners. The Arizona Death Star is located in Yucca, AZ. You don't have to get off Interstate 40 to see the sphere/house as it is very visible from the highway. Mystery solved.......thanks Daniella.
