Bad Astronomy Blogger Makes The Jump to Television

Astronomer and blogger Phil Plait is making the jump to television. In a trailer released today, Plait unveiled a new television show destined for Discovery Channel, “Phil Plait’s Bad Universe.”

The name comes from Plait’s popular science blog, Bad Astronomy.

“Bad Universe” will air on Discovery this Fall, though a premiere date and time have not been settled on yet.

As is often the case with Discovery, the network has ordered a “three-pack” of episodes. This allows the network to test them out on-air and gauge viewer response.
