I go out of my way to find harmless diversions during the age of Cheeto, and one of my new favorites is a series called Strange Evidence, from the Science Channel.
Basically, they document strange phenomena, and then get scientists to try to figure them out and recreate them. It does have that annoying fast-cut editing that you see on ghost shows, and that sinister music, but it’s really just plain old science.
My favorite episode was the one where an Egyptian tomb statue was caught on the Manchester Museum’s security camera turning around. (For what it’s worth, I figured it out. I’ve figured most of them out, but it’s still fun.)
Susie – I watch all the astronomy shows – sometimes multiple times to digest the info.
I also peek at APOD every day – today is really special:

That is SO COOL. Thanks!
