Help Find Microsoft Science Screensaver for XP

Help me find an old Microsoft screen saver. It was called "Science" and it looked like a glass orb floating over the desktop wallpaper.

This screensaver came standard with Windows95 (I think). I lost it when i upgraded to XP, and have not been able to find it on Microsoft's site or elsewhere on the web. If you like your wallpaper, it makes a great screensaver, as your wallpaper remains on the monitor, and a 3-4" diameter transparent magnifying glass (of sorts) slowly moves, diagonally, and bounces off the walls of the display, floating over your wallpaper. It had a nice hypnotic effect. Can you help me find it for WinXP?

The science screensaver was part of the 98 Plus! add on to Windows 98.
Try "lens" on this page it looks pretty similar.
