Hello ya'll this is my first post. I'm just learning about the galaxy and stuff.

I just want to post about the milky way. Is it just me or is the milky way getting brighter in the constellation Cygnus and Sagittarius area? I can barely see milky way in the Cygnus area last year. I live near to Vancouver. There are lots of light around where I live. I can see milky way very clear at night time right now. I can see milky way all the way from constellation Cassiopeia to Sagittarius. I just find it odd that I could barely see milky way last year 2007. I think our solar system is getting closer to contsellation Sagittarius.

I did some research is that the galactic center is in the constellation Sagittarius. Are we going to cross the galactic center in 2012??
