"The funny thing is - yesterday when I turned on the forecast channel for the first time, a thought flashed through some distant corner of my brain:"Heh, I wonder if those are the real stars, or if they're just randomely placed". "You're not the only one. That was my first thought when I zoomed out as well. Glad to see that someone isn't as lazy as me and checked it out!
ooooooooooooo, who honestly gives a flying f**k, does this change anyones life, significantly? go outside and look up if you want to see an accurate depiction of the stars

I can't even get a local forecast. If you don't live in a big city, you're probably out of luck.
