I just visited that wooden sphere with my family - I think it was the same one, though it may have been modified, because I don't remember the window being recessed like that. Maybe there was another covering added over top, like a tinted contact lens.

Also,

Woah how did I never make the connection that the Eameses that made the chairs are the same Eamses that made the films!?

So is it EEmes or AYmes? When I first heard about them I swear the pronunciation of their name rhymed with dames, but now all I ever hear is EEmes.

Also I think that power of ten film is seriously overrated, but I love the furniture/architecture.
