Matt's World Of Weather: Hot Rodding Through the Galaxy  What To
Look For With clear skies and nearly freezing temperatures this
Eastern weekend, we will settle into optimal stargazing
conditions for the entire family. Four planets, a star and our
moon will round out our stargazing scavenger hunt as they all
will make an appearance in our sky at various times this
weekend. Be sure to take a look at the video for help on finding
Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the moon and Spica.  Wait, It’s
How Far? As mentioned in the video, Spica is roughly 260 Light
Years away. Sure the number itself doesn’t seem like a lot, but

than just one envelope to work through the math on this one…
260 Light Years = 16,442,314 Astronomical Units*  16,442,314

miles to one-way trips to various destination across the Milky
Way galaxy. Interestingly,
