Pantheon Pendulum

A giant pendulum inside the Pantheon

A giant pendulum inside the Pantheon reconstructing Foucault's famous experiment. According to this web site, the ball swinging here is the actual ball Foucault used. (It says they "dusted it off" and put it up here in 1995.) Before that it had apparently been kept at the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers.
