Subject: MM: Mapping on truly small and large scales (fwd)
 
 
 
The October 1998 Sky and Telescope magazine has an article (page 82;
unfortunately not available on-line) about Wil Tirion, "the world's first
full-time uranographer" or sky mapper. I mention it here because the
article
points out that Tirion's primary tools today are Adobe Illustrator and a
Power Mac. His "Sky Atlas 2000.0" is probably the atlas most widely used
by
amateur astronomers and not a few professionals.
 
This must be the smallest-scale niche in cartography. What is the largest?
Can cartographic or GIS tools and methods be used on the other end of the
scale spectrum? Mapping bacterial growth in a culture would be pretty
large
scale, but how about mapping in truly microscopic realms?
