Science is an American cable, satellite and IPTV television channel owned by Discovery Communications. Science features programming in the fields of space, technology, prehistory and animals.

Discovery Science was launched in October 1996 as a part Discovery's new suite of four digital channels that were rolled out simultaneously. Plans for the new networks were announced in November 1994. Back then the channel's working name was "Quark!", but that was changed before launch.

The name was changed to The Science Channel in 2002 only in United States. A complete "makeover" took place in April 2003^{[citation needed]}, airing newer and more up-to-date television programming.

An 1080i high definition simulcast called Science Channel HD was launched September 1, 2007, along with Discovery Channel HD, TLC HD and Animal Planet HD.

In December 2007, Science Channel debuted a brand new on-air look and changed its logo to an element box that is colored orange and white.

On June 8, 2011, it dropped "Channel" from its name and launched a new logo created by Imaginary Forces.

Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning (found, for example, in Aristotle), "science" refers to the body of reliable knowledge itself, of the type that can be logically and rationally explained (see History and philosophy below). Since classical antiquity science as a type of knowledge was closely linked to philosophy. In the early modern era the words "science" and "philosophy" were sometimes used interchangeably in the English language. By the 17th century, natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was considered a separate branch of philosophy. However, "science" continued to be used in a broad sense denoting reliable knowledge about a topic, in the same way it is still used in modern terms such as library science or political science.

A television channel is a physical or virtual channel over which a television station or television network is distributed. For example, in North America, "channel 2" refers to the broadcast or cable band of 54 to 60 MHz, with carrier frequencies of 55.25 MHz for NTSC analog video (VSB) and 59.75 MHz for analog audio (FM), or 55.31 MHz for digital ATSC (8VSB). Channels may be shared by many different television stations or cable-distributed channels depending on the location and service provider.

Depending on the multinational bandplan for a given region, analog television channels are typically 6, 7, or 8 MHz in bandwidth, and therefore television channel frequencies vary as well. Channel numbering is also different. Digital television channels are the same for legacy reasons, however through multiplexing, each physical radio frequency (RF) channel can carry several digital subchannels. On satellites, each transponder normally carries one channel, however small, independent channels can be used on each transponder, with some loss of bandwidth due to the need for guard bands between unrelated transmissions. ISDB, used in Japan and Brazil, has a similar segmented mode.
