The planets today shows you where the planets are now as a live display - a free online orrery. In this solar system map you can see the planetary positions from 3000 BCE to 3000 CE, and also see when each planet is in retrograde.

I have found an alignment on the 8th of the January 2018, but that tool doesn’t go past the year 3000 and it isn’t probably good enough for what we are looking for.
Something that grabbed my attention in regards to alignment, is the line of nodes.
Have a read through the following NASA blog if you like;
The Line of Nodes is the intersection between the orbital plane of Pluto (purple) and that of Earth (white). Because Pluto’s orbit is significantly inclined relative to the ecliptic plane, node crossings are rare, and because Pluto’s orbit is eccentric, they occur in 87- and 161-year intervals.

Edit: July 2179 is the next one, then July 2266. The 2266 one is a great alignment, having Venus, Earth and Pluto all on the same side of Sol and also getting very close to the first documented mention of Raxxla.
well, 1.55 ly out from Sol towards Alpha Hydri (actually permit locked so locked onto Te Uira instead). No USS nearer than 1.54 ly....
think Nemesis ain't here, if it's in-game at all.
I'm going to super-cruise from Sol to Alpha Centauri; mainly because on pure reflex I took a hyper-space jump and ended up in Sol instead of continuing my super-cruise towards Sol...

I want to say many warm words to this Quest for it ability to bring me back to the game. I'm in Alpha Centauri now and look at Sol. Unfortunately I experienced some system failures with my PC. Need more investigation. Something with video driver. But I believe I'll find it. One day.

They just pop up randomly right? Nothing to note with the offering faction or anything? Seems like a weird place to get a mission. Even though it is likely completely random it would be nice if it were a covert initiation mission of some kind for TDW. However a massacre of helpless civilians doesn’t seem like something one would have to do to prove their integrity or skills.
The purpose of this is to see if there is anything to find way way out from entry point. Problem is, the further out you get, the bigger the area you havent checked becomes
