Cosmic Collisions: Galaxies, an astronomy special, one of three,
is airing tonight (wednesday 18th January) at 10 pm eastern/pacific, 9 pm central
oh it is on the discovery channel.
PS: here is the full schedule for Cosmic Collisions
the associated discover space web page
I hear two more "Cosmic Collisions" shows may be shown, don't know when.
I haven't seen the final version, but they had lots of cool graphics and animations, and inteviews with terribly distinguished and erudite scientists explaining clearly and cogently the wonders of it all.
Er, and me.
So, if you can't get to sleep, now is your chance - my students assure me that just a couple of me droning on about black holes and stuff will put anyone to sleep.
That's assuming any of my pithy quotes actually made it past the sharp eye of the top producer.
We'll have to find out the hard way.
PS - judging from the e-mail I am on, but not for too long.
Hope it is as good as it promised to be...
Ooh, it is rerunning on Discovery HD immediately afterwars: cool opening sequence, good shot of Jamie.
It is clearly true that blue stragglers are one of the most important discoveries in history.
It says so on TV.
But, from what I saw of the pre-production stuff, the "Cosmic Collision" special may be well worth watching.
