Thanks to a major incoming solar storm, the Northern Lights MIGHT be visible over Missouri and Illinois.

An institute in California continues to search for alien life connected to mysterious radio signals.

You might want to avoid setting your smartphone down on a rock in Illinois for awhile. There is scientific evidence that recent solar flares literally electrified rocks and soil in the Land of Lincoln.

The saying what goes around comes around could not be truer than the sunspot which fueled the historic Northern Lights over Missouri a few weeks ago. It's about to face Earth again which could mean another light show is imminent.

Something strange happened over Albany, Missouri Thursday night into Friday morning. Video captured by a backyard security camera shows the Northern Lights, but there were no Northern Lights overnight so that's impossible.

Tiny homes remain very popular and there's a relatively new one in Missouri that has a feature many full-sized homes don't have - stargazing up top.

Yes, it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that Missouri and Illinois will be dark for about 4 minutes during the historic April 8 total solar eclipse, but how dark will each state be? Answer - all of it.

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.

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.

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.
