This weekend I get to spend with my wonderful children, and I plan on forcing them all to watch the innaugural episode of Bad Universe, Phil Plait‘s new Discovery TV show. I hope everyone gives it a watch. Phil Plait (also known as The Bad Astronomer) is a ridiculously interesting astronomer, one of those scientists who can actually talk to people and communicate his passion for science in coherent ways.
There is a preview of the first episode making the rounds, and hopefully you’ll watch this and whet your appetite for more.
Interestingly, when I searched google images for appropriately-sized pictures of Bad Universe, this is one of the images that came up.
