Scientists are much braver than most of the rest of us. Don't believe me? Try this on for size. Scientists in Illinois are about to fire a particle beam underground at South Dakota and they're not even a little bit nervous about it apparently.
I've lived in Missouri most of my life, but for some reason that I can't remember, I wasn't living in the state 30 years ago when a rare solar eclipse reached totality directly over Missouri. I've collected some memories of that day.
Experts are weighing in on the possibility that solar flares in the Earth's atmosphere could have caused the massive cell outage experienced nationwide on Thursday.
Safe to say that black holes are considered one of the most feared phenomena known to man? What if I told you there is a discussion about whether or not the super-powerful particle collider in Illinois could create one. The consensus is maybe, but you really shouldn't worry.
There is one Missouri town that has been hit by a double whammy. It's known as being one of the most mispronounced cities in America and it was also slammed into by a mammoth meteor. Can this Missouri place catch a break?
