If you were impressed with the newly revealed first picture ever of a black hole, you can thank the University of Illinois as they were part of the team that made it happen.

Can we all just agree that people get famous for doing stupid things these days? I think this might fit into that category. A Midwestern guy has gained fame for dropping random things down an old mineshaft.

If I were you, I wouldn't change any summer plans because of this. But, you deserve to know that there's a "time traveler" who is now predicting a massive Midwest earthquake this July.

Attention, Missouri dads. The bar has just been raised. A new video shows how one Missouri man made a toy race car for his daughter and it's...quite exotic.

It's moments like this that make me question whether the benefits of social media are worth the trouble it sometimes causes. A new viral door-kicking challenge has now arrived in Illinois with numerous reports of damaged caused by it.

I know that events like this are rare, but this is one reason I've always had a fear of going to the dentist. An Illinois man went to one recently and ended up with a drill bit in his lungs.

Since we live near the New Madrid Fault, it's normal to have earthquakes in our region. However, there was an earthquake that was felt by many that just happened in a weird part of Illinois.

You'd be surprised what you can see in your own backyard on a clear night in Missouri. This assumes you have the right equipment like an amateur Missouri astronomer who just shared a truly epic up-close view of the moon.

Does it make me a bad person to admit I would have loved to have access to a smart phone and watch when I was in school? Soon, students at a Missouri high school will get to experience learning like I did as those devices will be banned.

If you're a fan of spectacular sky things, make sure you reserve some outside night time in the middle of April as there will be plenty of flaming space rocks above us in the tri-state skies.
