NOVA tonight included today's images of Pluto

Well THAT was impressive! PBS Nova tonight told the story of the Pluto mission and included video of yesterday's celebration when the spacecraft sent it's post-flyby signal and included some of the first actual images taken during the flyby. Since those came in this morning, there must have been some fast editing of the story!

I had it on but was futzing with an old MDD so I missed all the visuals. Hope it crops up on the other local PBS station soon.

Yeah - I was totally blown away by that. They even had the close-up of the ice mountains (in B+W) that I think were just released yesterday.

Anyway, good for them. I generally hate the way they've changed NOVA; it comes across like a bad History Channel documentary these days, with the same breathless narrator asking endless overheated but dopey rhetorical questions. (You don't have to make everything into a sexed-up murder mystery - the science will stand by itself.)

But props for their timeliness.

We just watched it by streaming via our AppleTV.

Was a very nice NOVA.
