Last week Louisiana was treated to the Northern Lights in the nighttime sky. This week you can see a comet. It might not be seen again for another 80,000 years.

The effects of a giant solar storm are headed for the Louisiana skies tonight and Friday. It could result in an epic Northern Lights display in the Deep South.

Louisiana has got another reason to look up, a star system some 3,000 light years away is set to explode. Here's how to see it happen.

Coming soon, Louisiana can expect a heavenly fly-by as the "Devil" comet makes a pass by Earth. It only comes around once every 71 years.

The planets haven't aligned in the Louisiana sky this way in almost 20 years. Here's what you need to know to see them for yourself.

The full "Pink Moon" will shimmer and shine this Easter weekend in Louisiana but will it actually be pink?

Astronomers say there will also be super moons in April, May, and June. Here are the dates when the viewing will be best.

Two heavenly bodies will combine to provide a unique light show just in time for Christmas.

This will be an exciting night of stargazing for all ages.

The clear summer skies are offering quite a show for sky watchers over the next several days.

The eclipse is over. What are you going to do with those special eclipse glasses? Here's a great way to repurpose those glasses and help further the mission of science.

The "Full Snow Moon" will appear, the "Penumbral Lunar Eclipse" will occur, and Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková will be making a fly-by!

Last week Mother Nature gave us a spectacular night time show of meteors and falling stars tomorrow night it's another celestial showcase. Dave Baker and Rob Perrillo are giving us a clear sky forecast which should make for some great viewing.

You are probably thinking, Bruce that is just plain wrong! First it's too darn cold to be outside and second showering out in the cold is not only indecent but an even colder idea. Not to worry my modest warm blooded friends,the shower I speak of is in the sky and if you can brave the below freezing temperatures Mother Nature has a show for you that will take your breath away.
