The Night Sky

Isn't the night sky brilliant?

It looks pretty when you look up normally with all those stars. But you miss out on so much looking up at it in town.

I went for a drive this evening out north in to the country a bit. Parked the car. Went for a wander looking up.

It's so incredibly beautiful. And so mind boggling.

We live on a tiny rock and there are so many billlions of stars and galaxies out there.

Sometimes I look up at night and it feels like there's absolutely nothing immediately above up, and I wonder why we don't all fall off.

  1. Dear Miss Taken. We do not fall off because of the invisible pixies sitting on our heads to hold us down of course!!! I like your blog template - great minds think alike.

  2. Miss library girl, I think you are mistaken. The pixies have nothing to hold on to, so if we fell off into the vast vacuum abyss they would go too on our heads - like fleas on a cat. That is why I always squidge my feet into the earth when I stand in a garden. Just to be sure.

    (It is a shame about the template. I like to be unique. Though that is hard to do when you are choosing from a small predetermined selection.)
