Let \(Q\) be a homogeneous polynomial vector field of degree \(m>1\) in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) and let \(Q_T\) be the corresponding tangent vector field on the unit sphere \(S^2\) of \(\mathbb{R}^3\). The authors show that the flow of \(Q\) near infinity is topologically equivalent to the flow of \(Q_T\) on \(S^2\). They give a detailed classification of invariant cones of the flow of \(Q\).
