The pinpoints of starlight we see with the naked eye are photons that have been streaming toward us for a few years or a few thousand.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've read that a naked eye can see six thousand stars in the hundred billion galaxies, but I couldn't believe it, what with the sky white with starlight. I saw a million stars with one eye and two million with both.
Usually we are illuminating things instead of looking at the light itself. But I like this quality of the light being the revelation.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
It is part of the fundamental impulse in all living things to reach for light, part of the indomitable will to see.
One of the great things about stargazing is that it's immediately at hand for so many people. You know, you could get into scuba diving or bird watching, but the stars are always up there.
Do not look at stars as bright spots only. Try to take in the vastness of the universe.
The stars are scattered all over the sky like shimmering tears, there must be great pain in the eye from which they trickled.
How lovely are the portals of the night, when stars come out to watch the daylight die.
The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
This dark brightness that falls from the stars.
