Space

This photo is, well, out of this world.

Will your 'astronaut' survive the egg drop? Stop by the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, and see if you can build a spaceship strong enough to withstand their egg drop.

Philae (Pronounced: Fee-Lay), a 220 pound probe about the size of a washing machine, but considerably smarter, has landed on a comet traveling nearly 40,000 miles per hour and some 311 million miles from earth. The European Space Agency launched the project back in 2004...

Have you ever caught a glimpse of the northern lights? After a couple large solar flares erupted earlier this week, scientists are predicting spectacular views of the Aurora Borealis across much of the U.S. tonight including over Cheyenne.

Do you remember what you were doing on July 20, 1969? If you were around 45 years ago today, you probably were watching the black and white pictures from the moon as Neil Armstrong made the first footprint on the surface with NASA's Apollo 11 mission.

Are you an early riser? Be sure to look up when you're outside in the hours before dawn this weekend and you might catch a falling star. December is when the annual Geminid meteor showers appear to radiate from the star Castor which is part of the constellation Gemini. The shower actually is the Earth passing through debris thought to be from an asteroid-like object called 3200 Phaeton.

Have you always dreamed of flying into space? That could become a reality soon for civilians and you might even be able to win a trip to space on a reality TV show. TV Producer Mark Burnett, he's responsible for 'The Voice' on NBC and 'Survivor' on CBS, has teamed up with Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson on a game show to be called 'Space Race.'

Have you seen any of the Draconid meteor shower this year? If you're outdoors overnight, watch the sky for falling stars. The peak of the 2013 Draconid meteor shower was October 7, but you may still be able to catch some of the shooting stars and make a couple wishes.

Science, Baby, Science. About 7 minutes long. A short time in the total time it took in the 13 Billion years in the making.

Ground control to Major Tom, your pizza's done, there's nothing wrong.... it's just NASA developing a 3D printable pizza for astronauts when they are just out of delivery range, like, say on Mars. They're offering $125,000 for the right blend of protein powders and the like to make printable foods in space...
