Rising Star
I miss them. In my home town they were countless, beautiful, unfathomable. Now I could probably count them on fingers and toes. It makes me so sad. Gone are the days when I would be completely removed from civilization and could just lay and stare at the stars. One day soon, I will join them again.
 
I can't wait until going into space would be a public thing.

Light pollution bothers me. I miss being able to look at the stars and seeing everything.
 
When i go out sailing its incredible how many stars you can see out at sea, its completely mesmerizing. Also one of my other favourite things out at sea is the beautiful phosphorescence that sparkles along the sea in the yachts wake, truly beautiful.

Just a beautiful phosphorescence picture i found :d

Amazing picture!

Once near the end of a journey SWIM was beckoned by a priestess to follow her up the stairs onto a wondrous temple rooftop, whereupon his beautiful green-skinned guide lifted her palm to the stars as invitation for him to marvel at the beautiful alien constellations above!
 
I noticed a star-tetrahedron right at the tip top of the sky last summer as if placed there as some galactic joke.
I was 10,000 ft. up in Wyoming.
Meditations revealed to me the ability to see the stars through my eye lids, through my tent, no joke...
 
One of the greatest wrongs of society has been building cities and suburbs from which it's no longer possible to see the stars at night. I'm 56 years old, and I was born and raised in New Jersey, just ten miles from New York City. When I was a little kid there, I could look up at night and identify the major constellations! Now I live about 30 miles outside St. Louis--considerably smaller than NYC--and here most nights I can see only 5 or 10 stars. Most children raised in America today (except for rural or western areas) will have NO IDEA what it's like to see a BRILLIANT sky filled with stars. It's a great loss...
 
Star gazing is 1 of my favorite things to do when i get out in the wilderness.I seem to see lots of shooting stars
which i always feel very privileged at. Also the odd pesky satellite slowly floating by, actually looks quite cool to.

Scotland out on the hills,far away from the pollution in mid autumn has some spectacular night skies.Its just a lil bit brrrrrr chilly.
I love to think about other life forms on other planets looking at the stars at the same time as i am.Quality thoughts.
 
The first time I ever experienced ego destruction was while looking at the stars on a hefty LSD dose... I am obsessed with them. My bookmark pulldown is filled with astronomy links, usually when I'm late for work it's because I'm reading about stars. I suggest reading Cosmological Enigmas if you're interested in wacky stellar objects that we have yet to fully understand.

The Atacama desert is on my list of places to visit before I die, I can only imagine the view of the sky.
 
i can see the stars sooo well at night..especially when there is no moon...its like looking up into a dust cloud of sparkly crystals..of spice!
 
I live out in the countryside so luckily see the stars well...a few years ago though I was out in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, on a uni trip, 5 days boat ride from Iquitos, on the Rio Yavari, quite literally in the middle of nowhere (uncontacted tribes thought to be in the area).

The stars were incredible, and crsytal clear...loads of shooting strars, and the awesome expanse of the Milky Way stretching as a thick band accross the sky....and loads of fireflies as well...a very very special place to experience.

Gee you are so lucky! Wow. I was looking at the little stars i could see tonight its such a few even though i live in a relatively small city, it brought me to tears its so sad. I am so heart sore for the days when i was sailing and the stars in the sky seemed to swallow me up there were so many. Ive always been in love with the sky and the stars but spice seems to have accentuated my love and fascination with them :d



Much Peace

The spice is stimulating the forgotten feelings/memories of when you traveled among them...
