TV show to examine 'moon music' heard by astronauts
In 1969, Apollo 10 astronauts in orbit around the moon heard a whistling sound described as "outer-spacy," "weird," and "eerie." Eugene Cernan and John Young discussed the noises as their craft flew around the far side of the moon, out of radio contact. On Tuesday night, recordings of the strange sounds will be featured on the Science Channel show NASA's Unexplained Files (10 p.m. ET).<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The sounds have at least one skeptic: Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, in a book published years later, said they were just radio interference.

Supreme Court vacancy looms over Senate
Senators will meet Tuesday for their regular weekly lunch meeting, and this time around, there’s something new on the table: the discussion of filling the open Supreme Court seat left by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>has already signaled that the Republican-controlled Senate won’t consider anyone nominated by President Obama,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>emphasizing<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the partisan stalemate over the issue. This<span style="color: Red;">*</span>battle over Scalia's replacement could consume the Senate's agenda for months. Obama, for his part, says he will move forward with a nomination.
