How to a make a sphere out of spheres

Question

I know how to make a cube out of cubes or a pyramid out of pyramids, but how do I make a sphere out of spheres?

Of course you can't make a seamless solid with spheres, but you can get the general shape. — J Sargent, May 27 '15 at 14:47

Add a sphere and an empty at the center
Add an Array Modifier to the sphere, scale the empty and modify the arrays count.
