No, that vane isn't a turkey.

- Airplane Arms: Jet makes these arms when he suggests going to space to study clouds.
- Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: Sean wishes there was a way to learn about rain clouds up close. Jet asks him if he's thinking what he's thinking. Sean says "Go to the DSA", and Jet says "go to outer space".
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: After it is discovered that it will indeed rain on the night of the Space Scouts' sleepout.Mitchell: Bad news for Sean's sleepout, but great news for plants and flowers, and umbrella salespeople!
- Bait-and-Switch: After Jet assures Sean that things won't be totally ruined, thunder is heard...but it's actually Sunspot banging two trash can lids together.

- It's revealed that Mitchell is a weather expert, something he picked up from his unseen grandfather, who is a farmer.
- Bergs and Skelley were part of Space Scouts when they were young.
- Lame Pun Reaction: "I wasn't sure weather or not you were looking for me!", courtesy of Face 9000. No one is amused by it except for Jet.
- Instant Costume Change: For most of the episode, Sean wears his Space Scouts uniform, but when he enters the DSA, he's suddenly in his usual outfit.

- Running Gag: Jet mistaking the rooster-shaped weather vane for a turkey.
- Scout-Out: Sean is a part of a scout troop called Space Scouts, as shown in this very episode. Their business isn't selling cookies or popcorn though; their business is learning about science.
- Series Continuity Error: Mindy learns about the constellation Leo the Lion in this episode, but she previously learned about it in "Constellation Prize".
- Ship Tease: Jet is in awe at Sean's Space Scouts uniform. We then get closeups from Jet's perspective of Sean's feet, chest, back, and hat, and tells Sean it's a nice outfit. Later, Jet puts Sean on his shoulders while riding a unicycle.
- Stock Audio Clip: When Sean arrives on the scene, he says "Hey guys", which is recycled from William Ainscough's stint voicing him....and then he proceeds to be voiced by Grady Ainscough. It's rather jarring if you have a good ear.

Total Eclipse Block Party
When the light goes away, at the height of the day, it's a total eclipse of the sun!

Since a solar eclipse is approaching, Jet comes up with a rocking song and dance routine to perform at the block party. Meanwhile, Sunspot tries to educate the neighborhood animals on eclipses.
