Whist a little on the close side as far as timing goes, we couldn’t help but call to your attention to the fact that Discovery HD are due to air the first ever high definition imagery to be broadcast from the Japanese Kaguya Space Mission in a show to be aired this evening, November 14th 07, on the channel.
The show, produced in partnership with the Japanese broadcaster NHK and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Association, will be a thirty minute special featuring not only HD imagery beamed back from the Kaguya mission but commentary from the likes of Alan Bean (former NASA astronaut) and Dr. Junichi Watanabe from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
According to Paul Lewis, President and General Manager, Discovery Channel, ‘This remarkable broadcast is a brilliant showcase for High Definition television and the result of a very successful long-term partnership with NHK, the world leaders in HD technology.’
The show is due to be aired at 2000hrs ET/1700hrs PT this very evening (November 14 ‘07).
