Time Spheres are transportable containment spheres used in time travel, in order to make the process easier.
History[]
Cisco Ramon created a Time Sphere for Eobard Thawne who was to travel through a wormhole in the Speed Force back to his own time. Ronnie Raymond noted that it included tungsten, known for both the highest melting point of all metals and for having flammable dust that could potentially melt a hole, causing an explosion. In order to prevent this, Eobard suggested that Cisco cement the tiles of the sphere with a cobalt resin to prevent degradation in cases of extreme heat. Despite its creation, Barry Allen torpedoed back through the wormhole, smashing the sphere and disabling Thawne from traveling through time.[1] After Eddie shot himself and Eobard was erased, this unstable wormhole eventually grew into the Singularity where Ronnie sacrificed himself to close the breach as Firestorm. His other half Martin Stein later built his own time sphere.[2]
Rip Hunter designed the first Time Sphere at some point in the future and the designs of which were obtained by Eobard who would eventually use it to make the 21st century version as built by Cisco.[1]
In 1987, a time remnant of Eobard obtained a Time Sphere through unknown means. Eobard insisted that he and Damien Darhk both change their destinies by traveling to the future and stopping what happened to them so they could acquire a new destiny. Darhk entered the Time Sphere and Eobard circulated around it, propelling itself off the ground. By doing this, the Speed Force portal opened and Eobard along with Darhk entered it, traveling to the future.[3]
At some point in the future after awakening from her coma, Grace Gibbons stole the time sphere Cisco had built for Thawne from the Starchives. She subsequently used it to travel back to 2019, hoping to aid her uncle Orlin Dwyer in the mission to exterminate all meta-humans, as well as kill the meta-human who'd been responsible for her parents' deaths.[4]
The day after future Grace's arrival, the future time sphere is detected by Team Flash who assumed that an asset was stolen. Cisco and Sherloque Wells breach to the future one's location in the forest while Iris West-Allen and Ralph Dibny find the present day version gathering dust in the Starchives. Suspecting these the two were one and the same, Cisco had Iris carve a lightning bolt scratch on the present day version which concurrently appeared on the future version, leading Team Flash to deduce that the future Grace traveled to the present. Joe West noted they couldn't destroy the present day version to stop future Grace without messing up the timeline.[4]
After Barry banished Nora West-Allen back to 2049, forbidding her from coming back to 2019 again, Iris and Ralph used the time sphere to travel to the future to bring Nora home. Unfortunately, since Nora went into the Negative Speed Force, they were forced to return without her.[5]
Barry and Nora traveled to 2049 to stop Thawne after he escaped his execution, and soon after this the rest of Team Flash arrived in the time sphere to help defeat him.[6]

Trivia[]
- In "Time Bomb", the time sphere blueprints Sherloque and Iris look at are labeled "STAR Labs Time Sphere", but this was only a nickname Cisco came up with on the spot in "Fast Enough", to which Thawne had responded "Is that what you're calling it?"
