We have it set up at SMM through summer after which it will travel 
with the Water Planet exhibit. In the Education department our 
teachers would like to use  the weather data and the 2005 hurricane 
season segment for disaster camp. What we don't have is data for a 
platetechtonics visualization. THAT would be useful. For our camps 
and as it sits next to paleo for the public. In Minnesota we have 
Ordovician fossils so to see the ocean over the continent would be 
enlightening. I have been told it is proprietary and we can't use it.
I can tell you people are awestruck.
Personally i oriented myself to the US first and then looked at how 
the cloud systems moved around the sphere. Because the  US is high on 
the globe it reinforces that the US is not he most important place on 
the earth but a area of the whole system. When we first saw it the 
fact that the US was not the easiest to view felt unusual.
