NASA replaces its historic countdown clock after 45 years of operation

In anticipation of its new deep space explorer, NASA has unveiled a sleek countdown display at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The modern, digital LED display is replacing the iconic analog countdown clock. The new display, which resembles a stadium monitor, is similar in size to the historic clock. It features a screen nearly 26 feet wide by 7 feet tall. The display isn’t true high-definition, but its video resolution will be 1280 x 360.
