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.

Predicting when the Northern Lights will be visible is something that even NASA hasn't completely figured out, but there is a forecast regarding 3 incoming solar flares that could mean the Aurora Borealis will not only be visible in Illinois, but maybe even be overhead this weekend. Maybe.

It would be a great idea to keep your eyes on the skies over Wisconsin this weekend as the Northern Lights may be visible due to a major solar storm from a mammoth sunspot.

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.

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.
