Phil Plait's Bad Universe

When I had breakfast with my friend Phil Plait ("The Bad Astronomer") at James Randi's Amazing Meeting 8 a couple of weeks ago, he was all excited about a new TV project he's been working on, but couldn't tell me anything about it because of confidentiality clauses.

Now it can be revealed -- it's a 3-part science and astronomy program called "Phil Plait's Bad Universe," which may debut on The Discovery Channel this fall. It will touch on many of the concepts Phil wrote about it "Death From The Skies," but this time he'll be testing their veracity. And blowing stuff up, "Mythbusters" style, too.

Here's the trailer...
