"Powers of ten" presents a linear view of the universe from the human scale, to the sea of galaxies, to the nucleus of a carbon atom. Demonstrates the powers of ten using an image, a narration, and a dashboard to give a clue to the relative size of things and to show what the addition of absolute zero to any number means. Includes "A rough sketch for a proposed film dealing with the powers of ten and the relative size of things in the universe," a preliminary version of Powers of Ten, produced in 1968. "901 : after 45 years of working" examines the Office of Charles and Ray Eames as it is being dismantled and cleaned out, produced in 1990.

Based on the book Cosmic view, by Kees Boeke. 901: producers, Eames Demetrios, Lucia Eames ; Director/photographer, Eames Demetrios.
