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.

If you enjoy spectacular sky events, get ready for the middle of May in the tri-state area as there will definitely be a lunar eclipse we'll be able to see and we might get a cool meteor shower, too.

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.

Take a trip to the moon without leaving your couch.

One of the most brilliant fireballs in recent memory exploded in the skies over the Midwest Saturday night with reports from hundreds in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. A doorbell security camera captured some video of the event.

I was reminded today that we'll have another historic moment in exactly 2 years. That's when a total solar eclipse will cross both Missouri and Illinois.

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.

There's no surprise that this meteorite was seen from so many different locations in Illinois and Missouri considering how bright it was. This fireball lit up the skies over 5 different states Monday night.

This Illinois man has a job that might save the Earth one day. In his backyard, he hunts killer asteroids for NASA and he's always on alert.

I've shared a lot of video of both UFO's and also meteorites this year. This isn't either of those. It is a very bright streak seen in our skies, but there's no doubt as to what it is.
