TV Alert: “The Dark Side of the Universe”
Scientific American Frontiers, one of my favorite TV shows, is going to be looking into the mysteries of Dark Matter and Dark Energy on Tuesday on PBS, so if you’re around a television, I highly recommend you set aside some time to watch. It’s called “The Dark Side of the Universe“. As usual, it’s hosted by Alan Alda, who traveled to Chile to talk to astronomers working on the latest research. You’ll have to check your local show times, but it’s airing on Tuesday, June 22 from 8-9 pm on my local PBS station, which broadcasts out of Seattle. For those of you who can’t get PBS, I’m pretty sure the entire show is going to be available on the web a few days after it airs on TV.
Enjoy!
