As a retired astronomy teacher and planetarium director (34 years) and a lifetime avid amateur astronomer/stargazer I really appreciate that, in the second panel, Jimmy got it right! There’s Sagittarius (AKA the Teapot) in the correct orientation for its position in the south western sky in the early evening as viewed from the continental US this time of year. He even has the crescent moon with the crescent facing the right way. Too often I’ve seen portrayals of the night sky in public media where it’s all wrong, the artist/producer didn’t do their “homework”. Kudos to Jimmy, he did his homework.
