Do the fields in your data live on a spherical surface -- e.g., is it Earth or
planetary system information?  Would you like to see it without the usual
flat-map distortion?  Come to the session, and we'll put it up on course 12's
two-foot iGlobe spherical display (check it out at Hayden).  In the process,
you'll also be able to see it in a browser using a preliminary version of
"esGlobe" and on the displays in building 54 hallways and classrooms.
