Draw with the Pen tool with the beginning anchor point and dropping the second anchor point at the right hand side. Before letting the mouse go, press the Control key and pull the direction line around to point to the direction where you want to complete the arc. Complete the arc by closing the endpoint.
Alt+drag a copy of the arc and press the Shift key and reduce the arc.
Flip the small arc by rotating it.
Using the Blend tool choose the left point on the large and smaller arc.
Apply Feather to the selection at a radius of .381.
Make a narrow ellipse and rotate it. Place on the arc. Apply the SVG Filter AI_GaussianBlur_4.
Draw some points as shown below.
Apply a Drop Shadow to the points.
Apply the Warp Options with an Arch style set to Vertical and -100%.
Create 0s and 1s and rotate. Using the Free Distort option, adjust the perspective. Make sure to Create Outlines of the numbers.
Duplicate the numbers. Move the top version upwards and choose the bottom set. Use the same SVG Gaussian Blur. Move the top numbers down and pull the side in a little to reduce the size a little.
Create 3 rectangles: a large one in the centre and two small ones for the outer parts. Use Pathfinder to merge them into one. Form 3 boxes and set them onto the piece. Use Pathfinder again to make punched out areas. Make a white to light blue gradient and use the Gradient tool to force the gradient to be white on the bottom and light blue on the top.
Finally, form a sphere and make it blue. Apply the SVG filter but this time use the larger valued Gaussian version. Apply the Starry Sky pattern to it and set behind the rest of the artwork.
