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
