In the course of a single week, Illinois sky-watchers get a look at a solar eclipse, the Devil Comet, and the Lyrid Meteor Showers. One of those, the eclipse, has already happened, but this weekend you may see both the Devil Comet and the Lyrids all from the comfort of your backyard or favorite viewing spot.
Illinois is abuzz with anticipation as 2 cicada broods, Brood XIII and Brood XIX, are set to emerge together after 221 years. Discover when the emergence begins.
