The Ring of Truth

Mapping (1x6)

Air date: Mar 02, 1987

Mapping: A Ryder rental van is turned into a mobile star-sighting observatory on a long voyage through Nebraska and Kansas as Morrison explores the way mapmakers use the stars—natural and artificial alike — to determine locations on earth. Morrison also ventures beyond our world of 3-D or 4-D into a realm where ideas, concepts, and data—even music—are displayed visually for better comprehension.
