This piece exhibits mathematical model codes for a dot, which represents the earth, orbiting another dot that represents the Sun. Mars is also represented by a dot orbiting the Sun. A drawing of the asteroid Psyche is shown orbiting the sun. Around that, the spacecraft orbits in an ellipse. The spacecraft is replaced with a picture of a hag-like beaked goddess pointing at the asteroid every half rotation.
