I didn't believe it when I first heard it and still don't understand exactly what's happened, but the total solar eclipse path over southern Illinois on April 8 really has changed and been confirmed through several reputable sources.
As if the skies over Missouri weren't going to be interesting enough during April, now there's word that a green 'devil comet' is coming and it just might be visible over the Show Me State during the total solar eclipse even.
As the historic total solar eclipse in April draws closer, Illinois has issued urgent travel warnings for those who plan to witness the totality of the sun through the southern part of the state.
If your day hasn't been bizarre up until now, it's about to be because of what you're about to learn. If you've ever wondered why there has never been a channel 37 on your television, the reason is because of Illinois and aliens and I'm not making any of this up.
We are approaching a very historic sky event and one Illinois town would like to invite you to experience it with them. It's an open invitation to stare at the sun in the Land of Lincoln as long as you promise to do it safely.
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.
If you call Wisconsin home, you definitely want to keep an eye on the skies Tuesday night as the Northern Lights should be brilliantly on display thanks to an incoming 'cannibal CME' from the sun.
You don't see a sky sight like this every day. A backyard camera in Missouri captured video of a humongous meteor as it was exploding in the skies over Iowa.
If you either have a telescope or got one as a gift in 2023, you'll have many chances to put it to work in 2024 as there will be at least 7 comets visible over Missouri and Illinois. Oh, and one just might be extra special later in the year.
