Explorers I: The Explorers of Polynesia

The program focuses on Polynesian exploration of the Pacific, using celestial navigation and other forms of non-instrument navigation. Live sections explore daily motion and the ways in which the sky changes as you change latitude. The audience gets their feet wet, metaphorically, in trying to navigate from Tahiti to Hawai'i by the stars. Then, it's on to Mars!
