We are SOOO looking forward to our friend Phil Plait’s new endeavor, a TV show called “Phil Plait’s Bad Universe,” and here’s a sneak peak at what we can expect, courtesy of Phil and the Discovery Channel. Phil’s show premieres this Sunday night August 29, 2010 on the Discovery Channel. Check your local listings at this link, and prepared to be blown away!
One more thing, if you follow Phil on Twitter (@BadAstronomer), he’s having a contest starting Wednesday to give away free stuff from the show. (And while you’re at it you can follow both Universe Today and Nancy on Twitter, too!)
