Synopsis

Step into the world of George Biddell Airy, the visionary Astronomer Royal of Victorian Britain, and journey through every stage of his remarkable life. Explore his dedication to astronomy, to aid accurate timekeeping and safer navigation, and the deep love of his family that sustains him through devastating personal trials. Witness the intrigue and jealousy that shadow his progress, at the very time that the interconnectedness of our modern world is taking shape. Rich with historical insights and vivid character portrayals, the story weaves from Northumberland, Cambridge and Greenwich to Paris, New York and Washington, DC. Through it all, George's spirited pursuit of new discoveries and a greater understanding of time and space, remains indomitable.
