Discovery Science is a Southeast Asian pay television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery Asia-Pacific. The channel features programs showcasing subjects in the fields of archeology and history, astronomy and space exploration, physics and engineering, manufacturing, and technology, among others, which is similar to the content being shown in its USA channel counterpart, Science Channel. However, unlike its USA channel version, there is a delay in showcasing its brand-new content, as such shows will first air on its sister channels, such as Discovery Channel.
