Field notes
The page describes a room-scale orrery in which eight planets are physically carried around a glowing sun, with each orbit's pace compressed to fit an evening. Visitors are invited to recline on cushions beneath a lighted dome; eight planet controls are said to trigger color and sound, while a date-entry feature maps a birthday or anniversary to the planets' positions on that day. The site also lists two dated event appearances, in California and British Columbia.
