Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars

Various | 09 January, 2008

I never thought I could be scared by the night sky. Not having seen stars for almost 2 years apart from a few brightest ones merely shining through thick air and light pollution in Hong Kong and elsewhere, I thought something would fall down on me or I'd run into a wall when I left the house.

Instead of a monotonous dark sky I was greeted by dozens of stars bright enough to be mistaken by low-flying aircrafts. With every blink the number of stars seemed to multiply first ten-, then hundredfold until the sky was nearly as bright as a city night sky; only this time made of a myriad of shining stars in all sizes and grouped shapes. I really had forgotten the sight of such a beautyful night sky and I'm not even living in a really clear environment.
