American Morning
Are you reading the wrong horoscope? Maybe, maybe not
Research out of the Minnesota Planetarium Society suggesting that the zodiac sign you've always identified with may be inaccurate has many horoscope readers wondering if they are reading the right horoscope for their birth date. But, AM's Jason Carroll reports that this story has two sides.
Astronomers at the Minnesota Planetarium Society say the astrological chart from which most base their zodiac signs is incorrect. They say the astrological chart, based on a Babylonian chart created 3,000 years ago, does not account for how the earth's position has changed over thousands of years. The astronomers recalculated the dates taking into account the earth's position in relation to the sun, and propose new signs for nearly everyone.
So how do astrologers feel? Carroll talks to one who says “don’t believe the hype.”
Watch the video to discover your new proposed zodiac sign.
Which sign would you rather have, the old one or the updated one?
Possible meteor over Mississippi
Where were you at 8:45pm central time last night? Well...Scott and Paula King of Mississippi were looking out their window this. Suspecting a possible meteor they sent in this video to us. Reports of the meteor were received in Mississippi and Oklahoma. What do you think? Did you see the light?
Dead bird mystery deepens
Coincidence or conspiracy? That's the question many of you are asking after another 500 birds were found dead yesterday just outside of Pointe Coupee Parish in Louisiana. This comes after over 5,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings had fallen from the sky only about 300 miles away in Beebe, Ark. It is a strange phenomenon but as the National Wildlife Federation’s Doug Inkley explains this morning on American Morning, it is not enough to be considered a conspiracy.
Cady Coleman from space: Try your hardest, 'real people do have their dreams come true'
American Morning has been following NASA astronaut Cady Coleman's journey to space for over a year now. We've spent time with her at her home in Massachusetts. We've watched her as she trained for the mission in zero gravity across the globe in bases in Russia, Japan, and here in the United States.
Today on American Morning, Coleman is with us live from aboard the International Space Station with fellow NASA astronaut Paolo Nespoli. Coleman talks with John Roberts, Carol Costello, and John Zarrella about her incredible adventure.
