Everyone loves the Bad Astronomer. Now get ready for his TV show.
The Universe is a dangerous place, with threats coming from any direction. But pop culture has played fast and loose with the facts, and quite often the things we know are all wrong, and when you’re dealing with the universe, ignorance can be deadly.
That’s where Phil Plait comes in.
He’s on a mission to debunk the junk and reveal the real science behind the mysteries of this planet, our solar system and the bad universe we all live in.
Discovery Channel will be airing a sneak peek episode of Phil Plait’s Bad Universe, titled “Asteroid Apocalypse”, on Sunday, August 29, 10pm ET/PT.
Marshall says
Can’t wait for this! Phil Plait is awesome.
Susie the Geek says
I’m so happy Phil got this show working! Everyone should watch – Phil’s book was awesome, and this is a great combo of “Death from the Skies” and “Mythbusters”
Yeah, I’m a Bad Astronomer fangirl!
