The Science Around the World series highlights scientists from around the world who are constantly discovering new treatments, inventing ever more advanced technologies to save more lives, while Journey on the Celestial Waves is a documentary that ranges from meeting scientists at the forefront of technology, working on The greatest projects to explore the universe. These two international productions will be discovered exclusively in Quebec.
Starting Monday, August 15, Science Around the World focuses on recent scientific discoveries in six 52-minute episodes. The series will cover the latest in aerospace, medicine, green technologies, robotics, artificial intelligence, nature and technology. To do so, she meets scientists from around the world who are leading science like never before, in order to shine a light on the future of the planet.

On Wednesday, August 17 at 11 p.m., the documentary A Journey on Heavenly Waves takes viewers on a human and scientific adventure to the greatest cosmic exploration sites on the planet. With ever more powerful ground or space telescopes, experts are always pushing the boundaries of knowledge even further. This is the case of French astrophysicist Helen Courtois and her international team of astronomers. In 2014, while working on a new map of the sky, they succeeded in mapping for the first time the supercluster Laniakea, where the Milky Way is located, thus revealing with unprecedented accuracy the terrestrial address in the universe. The documentary will be rebroadcast on Thursday, August 18 (4pm), Friday, August 19 (6pm and 10pm), and Sunday, August 21 (3pm).
