An amazing 67 astronauts have Colorado roots and connections. Three made it to the moon. One walked on the lunar surface. Another was a space pioneer. Yet another, a tragic hero.

Did you see the huge fireball in the sky last night (July 27)? It could be seen from Colorado to California.

Here's good news and bad news. The good news is there is a rare total solar eclipse this week, the bad news Grand Junction will not get to see it.

We don't know if astronauts have been complaining about the lack of alcohol available to them in space, but if they have, problem solved.

How wild is a hurricane? See for yourself.

Walter White, or at least a smaller version of him, takes a solo trip 85,000 above the earth!

Here's one way to get your kids to do their homework.

The lunar eclipse this Friday (Oct.18) will be seen by much of the world, but not by sky watchers in the Grand Valley and in the western half of the United States. That is because the peak of the eclipse will occur at 5:50pm Mountain Time before the moon rises. Although it is a minor eclipse, I hate to miss any sort of celestial event.

This week, the planet Uranus is only 1.77 billion miles from earth.  Believe it or not, that's close enough to see it. Normally, Uranus can barely be seen with the naked eye on a very dark, clear night. The tricky part is having a dark enough sky - and knowing exactly where to look. This week gives us an even better chance to see Uranus, due to it's "close" proximity to earth.

What? Women can't be astronauts? Apparently NASA had no plans of any such thing, well, that's what this rejection letter told Miss Kelly.
