AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a celestial sphere model: start with a large circle of radius 25000 centered at the origin, with its axis along the vertical axis, intersecting the horizontal axis at two points. From these two points, draw tangents to the circle; one tangent meets the horizontal axis, defining a reference point. From this point, draw a ray to the center, intersecting the circle at a point. Then, create two concentric spheres centered at the origin with radii 3000 and 50000, and place a random point on the large sphere. Also, create several small spheres of radius 2000 centered at the reference point and two other axis points. From the reference point, draw multiple rays and lines intersecting these spheres, producing several intersection points. Finally, connect these points with segments, and draw three large circles of radius 50000, each rotating about a different axis, to form the celestial reference framework.
