The original "Powers of Ten" was created by Charles and Ray Eames,
husband and wife and two of the most famous designers of the 20th

In 1998, Powers of Ten was selected for preservation in the United States
National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally,
historically, or aesthetically significant.”
