The Atomium got its name from its design, which resembles an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It was built for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo 58) to symbolize scientific progress and the optimistic spirit of the era. The structure's nine interconnected spheres represent atoms, highlighting the importance of atomic science in modern life. The name reflects both its architectural inspiration and its thematic connection to science and technology.
