Default Foxtrot Astronomy

Foxtrot is a nationally-syndicated cartoon. Sunday's strip deals a bit of naked-eye astronomy.

Nice one! I like the fact that the sky is actually like that if you were to look.
(For those who don't know, Amend, aka the man behind Foxtrot, graduated with a physics degree from Amherst. It explains a lot of the science humor.)
