Tonight: 5 planets will be lined up in the western sky just after sunset, alongside the moon.

Wouldn't the brightest spot in the Galaxy be outside one of those 100 ly across star hatcheries when all that gas compresses into a star and Whamoo! You have a G2 or a K series star light up?

I know, I'm being a smart ass, well in PDX its going to be raining, so no sky for me.

And in Michigan... heavy cloud cover and rain. sigh.
