“The stars were better company anyway. They were very beautiful, and they almost never snored.” – David Eddings

The stars were better company anyway. They were very beautiful, and they almost never snored. Even if they did, it was so quiet you couldn't hear them over the sound of your own heart beating.

“If the earth were flat from east to west, the stars would rise as soon for westerners as for orientals, which is false. Also, if the earth were flat from north to south and vice versa, the stars which were always visible to anyone would continue to be so wherever he went, which is false. But it seems flat to human sight because it is so extensive.” – Ptolemy

The Earth is not flat. It is round and curved. If the earth were flat from east to west, the stars would rise as for westerners as for orientals, which is false. Also, if the earth were flat from north to south and vice versa, the stars which were always visible to anyone would continue to be so wherever he went, which is false. But it seems flat to human sight because it is so extensive.

“We had the sky, up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made, or only just happened-Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to make so many.” – Mark Twain

The night sky is a beautiful sight to behold, and for some people, it's a source of fascination and wonder. For others, it can be a source of contemplation and discussion.

And while they may only be tiny points of light in the vast reaches of space, they hold a special place in our hearts.

“It shows you exactly how a star is formed; nothing else can be so pretty! A cluster of vapor, the cream of the Milky Way, a sort of celestial cheese, churned into light.” – Benjamin Disraeli

A star is born when a dense cloud of vaporized gas and dust called a nebula collapses under its own weight. The compressed gas becomes so hot that it begins to glow and emit light. This rotating ball of gas and dust, called a protostar, is the very beginning of a star. Protostars are surrounded by a disk of material that gradually heats up and turns into gas and dust as well.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” – Oscar Wilde

There is an old saying that goes something like “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” The cliché is usually used to describe those who have lost sight of reality and are living in a dream world. But for some of us, this saying can be literally true. Some people are living on the streets, but they are still looking up at the night sky.

“For my part, I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” – Vincent Van Gogh

“The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

In the vastness of space, there are billions and billions of stars. Some are big and bright, while others are small and faint. But even the smallest, humblest star twinkles most in the darkest night.

“The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment!” – Henry David Thoreau

The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment! The aforementioned triangles are made up of three points: Earth, sun, and star. To us on Earth, these points seem so far away, but they are all in a close triangle- formation with each other. A triangle has three sides, and each side is a distance from the triangle's center.

“New stars offer to the mind a phenomenon more surprising, and less explicable, than almost any other in the science of astronomy.” – George Adams

“I feel so small when I look at the stars.” – Chuck Clarke

Sometimes when looking up at the night sky, we feel small. The vastness of space is awe-inspiring and makes us feel insignificant. But that's only if we look at the stars individually.

And even though they may seem small, they all share one thing in common: they're all shining brightly because they're loved.

“The night is even more richly coloured than the day…. If only one pays attention to it, one sees that certain stars are citron yellow, while others have a pink glow or a green, blue, and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expiating on this theme, it should be clear that putting little white dots on a blue-black surface is not enough.” – Vincent van Gogh

Different colors can be seen during different times of the night.

Something that makes us unique and worthy of our place in the universe.

“The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show.

It also means reaching out to others and helping them find their own potential.

For some people, gazing at the stars can be a way to escape the reality of their lives.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” - Harriet Tubman
