A rare celestial explosion could create a brand new bright spot in the night sky as the T Coronae Borealis, a star that erupts only once every 79 years, is on the verge of its next blast. NASA experts predict March 27 is the most likely day for the fiery spectacle. If skies are clear and cloudless, here’s where to look to witness the one-in-a-lifetime cosmic event.

A multiday severe weather threat will ramp up this weekend in the Midwest and South and then spread toward the East Coast by Monday. Destructive straight-line winds, large hail and tornadoes are all potential hazards.

Dramatic video shows a boy racing outside to get his dog as severe storms rained down in Gary, Indiana. Then, just moments later, see how a tornado tore apart the family’s backyard.

Scientists called this object first discovered in 2006 a ‘cosmic tornado’ because of its helical shape. The structure itself isn’t extraordinary by space standards.

But a closer, more recent look by the Webb telescope unveiled something more random, and by pure luck. Here’s what it was.

Captivating new video shows an impressive eruption at Hawaii’s most active volcano. Kilauea has been erupting on and off since December, but the lava fountains on March 26 were so tall, the heat was captured by a satellite.
