Today marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic Challenger Explosion. On January 28th, 1986 7 american astronauts were killed when The Space Shuttle Challenger burst in to flames just 73 seconds into it's flight. One of the people on that mission was Mohawk, NY native Gregory B. Jarvis.

Many are ringing in the New Year with the sight of Comet Catalina. Other than that comet, when will the next one be visible to us here on Planet Earth to enjoy and see?

Remember how Earth missed getting hit by an asteroid on Halloween and Christmas Eve? Well, now it looks like planet Earth is expected to be hit by a solar storm in the hours around New Year's Eve, possibly providing the holiday with some out-of-this-world fireworks.

Have you ever dialed the wrong phone number? It's embarrassing right? Astronaut Tim Peake dialed the wrong phone number from space, and feels embarrassed from the International Space Station.

Is an asteroid named 2003 SD220 heading towards Earth on Christmas Eve? Will it hit us?

Throughout history, NASA and other organizations have left junk behind in space. This junk could consist of silverware and actual trash to whole pieces of old rockets. Now, that release of space junk is coming back to haunt us. Ironically it will haunt us on Friday the 13th!

Coming up this evening, into the early morning of October 21st, look to the sky for the annual Orionid meteor shower. Here's the best times to view for New York state.

On the "Late Show With Stephen Colbert" SpaceX founder Elon Musk brought up the idea that if we nuked Mars, it could become habitable. Would that work?

A post is going around on Facebook stating that Mars will be so close to us, we'll see it bigger and brighter than ever before. But is there any truth behind it?

It seems like this past year, we've been the recipients of beautiful pictures from NASA of outer space. In the latest, A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month.

This is a view of Upstate New York like you've never seen before.

It's not every day that we see a total solar eclipse and for the first time since November 2013, the moon will make a pass at the sun causing it to block out some of the light. This classic image, while erie, is a sight to see. It's going to be happening on March 20th at approximately 4 a.m. EDT.
