When the sun sets Friday, Wyomingites will have enjoyed more than 15 hours of daylight on the longest day of the year. It just gets darker from there until the shortest day Dec. 21.

When June’s full moon rises Tuesday night, it will be at its lowest spot in a 37-year span, and it won't drop this low again until 2043. It’s also a strawberry moon and could appear just as red as its namesake when it rises.

A total lunar eclipse just after midnight March 14 will be positioned directly over Wyoming, which means Wyomingites will have an excellent view of the all-night event. It’ll be hard to miss — the moon will look blood-red.

Newly-discovered Asteroid 2024 YR is being taken seriously by scientists at NASA who say it's got a legit shot at slamming into the Earth. Right now, the odds are 1 in 43. UW planetarium guru says El Salvador is much more likely of a hit than Wyoming.
