Astronomy on TV

[Saturnine]

Hi All

Have just been reading the local tv guide,for Sydney / Wollongong and on SBS at 7:30 tonight is a program called Richard Hammonds' Engineering Solutions. Apparently tonights show is on the engineering behind the construction of the Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
Don't know about other areas or states, worth a check of your local tv guides! Hope the blurb is correct.
Also on SBS tomorrow night,Sunday at 7:30 is a program called the Moving Earth, which is about the changing veiws of cosmology from the time of Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler et al.
Good to see some astronomy related programs on tv, must be something to do with it being the International Year Of Astronomy.

Regards

Jeff

The worst part about living where I do now is that I don't get SBS...

Good to see some astro shows getting some air though.

It's been available online at various places for quite a while (I don't know the legalities of that...) and it's very good. A little lightweight in some ways, but still interesting and worth watching.

Just finished watching connections, did'nt find it "light on" you can only stuff so much into 45-50 mins. Very informative. Even En "light" ening. :)
