Skywatchers take note, tonight is the best night of the year to see Jupiter.

Most meteors people see from earth's surface are cool to look at, but they usually don't light up the whole sky. A meteor seen this week in Northern Minnesota did just that; grabbing the attention of people from the Brainerd area, well into Canada.

I love anything to do with space, NASA or the International Space Station, and today was a big day for the ISS.

Temperatures around the Duluth - Superior area this morning were between -15 and -30 Fahrenheit before wind chill was factored in. In America's icebox, places like Embarass and International Falls saw temperatures below -40 before factoring any wind chill. These temperatures have been colder than places in the Arctic Circle lately, but it turns out there is another shocking fact about this frigid

Hitching a ride usually only costs some gas and toll money. But you’ll have to dig really deep into your pockets for a ride into orbit.

We’ve heard of space junk, but this is just ridiculous.

For the 99.9% of the population who will never go into space, seeing what happens in zero gravity can be pretty fascinating.  Educational too!  Last fall the Canadian Space Agency asked students to design a simple science experiment that could be performed in space using objects already on board.  The winners, two 10th grade students from Nova Scotia, had International Space Station Commander Chri

Earth, Mars, Neptune – how hard can it possibly be to name a planet? Now’s your chance to find out.

As a kid I was fascinated by Space Travel and often wondered what they do the whole time? Since I am bad in math and afraid of heights I knew I was not a good candidate to ever be an astronaut, so I just had to use my imagination, until now.

On a day that opened with a large meteor explosion over Russia and an asteroid big enough to destroy a city passing between our weather satellites and the planet, humanity is keeping a keen eye on they sky for more. Friday evening (February 15) was capped off with another sighting captured on video in Northern California in the San Francisco area.

News broke this morning of a meteor exploding in the sky over the Chelyabinsk region in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Since then, numerous amateur videos have hit the internet showing the explosion and thunderous roar of the event.

On what seemed like a normal Friday morning in the Chelyabinsk region of South Central Russia, the unexpected happened. A large meteor streaked across the sky, exploding in the atmosphere, and unleashing an intense flash and thunderous explosion. We have a collection of videos from the explosion and updated injury and damage details after the jump.
