The moon and the stars and all the stories told, and all the fervent promises made under the night sky, are they not a poetry to be retold? All the words that were spoken and those that were not- the night sky has witnessed it...

I saw some shooting stars last night!

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 13 Aug

I wished on them and they were not satellites (with apologies to Billy Bragg). I read that it was the peak night to look out for the Perseid meteor shower, and since I am lucky enough to be out in the middle of the Welsh...

Who else is looking for planets?

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 26 Feb 25

This month, all seven of the planets in our solar system (not counting Pluto as a planet) will be visible all at once in the night sky, arranged in an extraordinary pattern called a “great planetary alignment". This is when their...

Good night everyone!

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (10111) • Calcutta, India 11 Nov 24

Tonight's moon hangs like a silver orb in the jet-black vault of the firmament, casting a soft glow over everything it touches. The night air is cool, and there’s a hush all around - a blanket of peace wrapped over the world it...

Ptrikha_2 @ptrikha_2 (49753) • India 25 Jan 24

While there are a number of tourist places on the Earth, there are just a few places with clear Night sky views. I came across Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Here one can see Milky Way and Orion Nebula with naked eye. It is located...

Pool Side Relaxation

allen0187 @allen0187 (59794) • Philippines 25 Apr 23

Went out for a walk earlier. Working from home is fine but it does make one think about just staying indoors and not going out. I do try to go out in the morning, midday, and at night. Try being the operative word. So earlier,...

Tomorrow there will be a lunar eclipse

Michele @Aquitaine24 (12000) • San Jose, California 14 May 22

There will be a lunar eclipse tomorrow night. It will start around sunset. Since the days are long, the duration will be long. It will probably be visible where you live. So, stay up and see it!

Not talking here about the nursery rhyme but as I opened the door this hour, what welcomes me are the silence of the night and the twinkling stars up in the sky. The weather is calm with clear sky and the stars...

We got home late last night. It was completely dark. People were setting off a few fireworks, already. I could hear them, but not see them. I looked around before I came in. My yard and the one next to me were filled with...

My angle in the vale, I don't actually get to see the breaking of dawn. I just see the dark night sky. At 4:30 am, clouds have formed that made the dark a little brighter. So I looked up, while praying for the magnificent...

When was the last time you looked up the night sky and admire the celestial beings?

Andromeda Estelle @andromedaestelle (13) 28 May 18

I can't remember the last time I took a moment to stare at the night sky. When I was younger, I used to go up our roof and wonder about the creator/creation of the universe, and how we compare to the size of the stars and the...

When I was a child I was very frightened to look up at the sky at night. I used to feel very lost when I looked up and it was very frightening I do not know why? But as I grew up I loved looking up at the stars in the sky for...

Have you ever seen a comet in the sky?

veejay19 @veejay19 (3589) • India 11 Aug 09

Most people do not have the time to look skywards because of the busy life that they lead. However those who do are enthralled by the grandeur of the night sky. One of the most thrilling spectacles is a comet as and when it comes...

If it's clear tonight can see Venus and Jupiter with the moon

its-logos-plus-logic @flowerchilde (12529) • United States 2 Dec 08

It's a little late but if it's clear here in the U.S. and other places you can see Jupiter and Venus close to the moon. (Usually the brightest stars are planets.) This was true for Sunday and Monday (11/30 and 12/1) also.. I'm...

What do you reminisce when looking at the night sky?

shintongs23 @shintongs23 (537) • Philippines 19 Jul 08

I love night sky. I love to stare at the clear dark sky especially when it is moonless and the stars are twinkling brightly. I usually reminisce my childhood days whenever I look at the night sky. I also daydreaming while...
