I wish to see an astronomy tv network.

I know about the science channel, NASA tv, and so on. But why not a channel dedicated to astronomy. "All space, All the time", sort of speak. Someone needs to talk to someone who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone and give that someone this message. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Pioneer0333 - That would be nice. <br /><br />I would settle for now for a Hubble special on NASA tv - is Hubble related to NASA?<br /><br />Can you imagine hours of just Hubble photos - all of them!<br /><br />With a little commentary explaining them?

Yes, Hubble is operated by NASA, through the independent Space Telescope Science Institute. ESA is also involved in the mission.<br /><br />From time to time, there are Hubble pictures broadcast on NASA TV during the Video File. These are the same pictures that get released to the press via other means so you'll tend to notice them in print media and on websites at about the same time. I like watching the Video File. It's a real hodgepodge of stuff, but it's cool. Cassini and MER pics show up there as well, as does stuff from ISS, Shuttle, Chandra, Spitzer, Swift, SOHO, and more. They also run interesting little bits to commemorate various anniversaries, like clips of spacecraft launches on the birthdays of those spacecraft. It's fun.<br /><br />I'd like a genuine astronomy channel myself. I love it when the Science Channel runs their regular weekly block of space programming, but I wish they'd do more. Unfortunately, hubby always gets bored during those. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
