What happens

Nova ScienceNow (styled NOVΛ scienceNOW) was a spinoff of the PBS science program Nova that ran from 2005 to 2012. The series premiered on January 25, 2005, and was originally hosted by Robert Krulwich, who described it as an experiment in coverage of "breaking science, science that's right out of the lab, science that sometimes bumps up against politics, art, culture". At the beginning of season two, Neil deGrasse Tyson replaced Krulwich as the show's host. Tyson announced he would leave the show and was replaced by David Pogue in season 6. The show was intended to return with more new episodes in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
