Notes:

PBS’s NOVA science program was the American response to BBC’s Horizon. This early episode was made in partnership with BBC and though little information could be found on this episode in particular, episodes within the first few years of NOVA’s birth were produced almost exclusively with British crews. The narrator Philip Morrison was, however, an American and a well-known physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project. He also notably wrote the script and narrated Powers of Ten which the University has available on 16mm as well.
