Were the Apollo visits to the Moon actually a hoax? Have aliens landed on Earth? Can you tell your future by the stars? Prepare to see pseudoscience tackled head-on in Bad Astronomy and enjoy a unique approach to learning about the cosmos.

Bad Astronomer Phil Plait takes a critical look at popular myths and silly misconceptions, including the erroneous astronomy presented in movies and on TV.
