The NASA Television Channel
Explanation: Do you ever feel like watching the NASA channel? If so, in addition to standard cable access and the standard NASA TV web pages , it might now be possible to watch NASA TV simply by accessing today's APOD . Watch cool rocket launches , real-time return of scientific results and images from deep space probes, press conferences, and interviews with scientists, educators, and astronauts. To see the channel optimally, one should have a broadband web connection and Windows Media Player properly installed. Options for watching NASA TV on other platforms are also available. On most computers, a sound adjustment slider is available on the lower right. Double clicking on the image will expand the image to fill your computer screen. A standard schedule is available for NASA's Public TV channel, as well as a live events listing and an educational programming guide . APOD thanks Lior Shamir for help in coding the hypertext that runs the above television-to-web link.
