hi,

the California Science Center does not own the Eames exhibit anymore and we
should be roundly spanked for that. I believe we sold it...SOLD IT!, I CAN'T
believe it...to New York.

Hello, all.  I am desperately searching for an image or specific information
about one of the exhibit elements in the Eames (now owned by Calif. Sci.
Ctr.) Mathematica exhibit.  The element deals with planetary orbits & (I
think) shows Aristotle's epicycle planetary orbits & Copernicus'
sun-centered Universe planetary orbits.  We prototyped a version of this
exhibit element about 5 years ago but, alas, our prototypes, images, & the
notes are absolutely nowhere to be found.

Does anyone have any information about this exhibit element?  An image?
Description?  I've reviewed as many Mathematica Internet links as I can
find, but no luck on the planetary orbits element.

Help???

Michelle
