Night sky

Draco is a constellation that is seen in the Northern Skies. He was first documented by a Greek astronomer by the name of Ptolemy in the second century. In Latin Draco means Dragon and the constellation is a presentation of the dragon Ladon that is the guardian of a garden with the help of the Hesperides in Greek Mythology (http://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/draco-constellation/). The constellation is also said to flip as the year goes on. During the summer seasons it will…

Licking my lips, the taste has me craving for even more chocolate. I am slightly chilled as the temperature continues to plummet, but I don’t want to go inside yet. I would like to warm up so I can stay outside longer and appreciate the dazzling starry sky. Problem solved; hot chocolate will quench my thirst, my craving, and leave me all warm inside! As I swallow, my taste buds are greeted with a sweet flavor like no other. I feel the warmth travel down my throat and into my stomach, warming my…

The goals of this lab are to observe the constellations in the night sky. We are to us the internet or any other resources of our choice to research the history of the constellations. I decided to do research over Libra, which means the Scales or Balance. It is also one of my favorite constellations because it is also my zodiac sign. Libra has three really bright stars and they are Alpha Librae, Beta Librae, and Gamma Librae. The three stars can be seen at the upper part of the scales that…

neighborhood. Being able to look at a beautiful sky day and night. Small towns are way better and safer than big towns. Small towns are quieter, have less crime and have clearer and prettier skies. Small towns are better than big cities because there is less noise. In big towns it is often hard to fall asleep because of the terrible noise outside. In the poem “Big City Noise” it states “People do not seem to hear the noise during the day. But at night, the noise makes it hard to sleep.”…

large cliff, most likely a fault that was pushed to soar in the cold sky, was grinding over the lower plate. Pieces of rocks and dirt fell down the depth from time to time. Large roots dug through the soil, holding together the remaining pieces of land. Above the chaos, on top of the cliff where new foliage…

It’s around 4:00 in the morning. I’m in my pickup truck waiting patiently for the sun to come up. As I await for eventual sunlight, I look up into the sky and gaze at the magnificent Milky Way Galaxy. I’m just amazed at how incredible the night sky alone is. I occasionally see a shooting star, failing to remember to make a wish. As time passes by, I see that the stars are fading away, leaving me with no light to comfort me. With nothing visible to keep me thinking, I fall asleep. I’ve woken up…

Sean Blumlein Mr. Flood English 11 H 20 March 2018 Light Prevails in the Night People hear the word light and they often think of physical light, but the word light has many underlying interpretations and meanings. Whether in the form of wavelengths, the constant struggle of good vs. evil, representing life, a guide, a force, or to describe speed, light is almost always a positive that often relates to a person being on the pathway to happiness. The many elements and meanings of…

colors ricochet off one another chasing the day away. The reddish gold colored fireball, seeming a lifetime ago, had aroused from the eastern sky and now descending into the western hemisphere, yet he is still not home and I begin walking the city streets all alone. Looking like a Weeble wobble toy I aimlessly wander the streets, reminiscing over that perfect night eight months ago. His whispers of endless love were feather light as evening descended quite eerily parallel to this day and time.…

We arrived in the middle of the night, almost in secret. When we were a couple miles away, we could see dimmed lights up ahead. The closer we got, the brighter they shined our way. They resembled the stars in the sky, but instead they had fallen onto the ground to illuminate the night. When we drew into town, everything seemed so strange to me. These building seemed foreign, I didn’t recognize anything. The stone buildings, seemed strange from my perspective. Strange in a way that this was all…

It's Friday night and we stand under the twinkling stars. Every constellation visible, as far as the east is to the west. Sheer beauty that could only be captured by the human eye. The trees surround us and their limbs are strong and sturdy, reaching out to us in a warm embrace. The wind rustles the leaves, and gives me a cool rush down my spine. My friends and I stand on the wooden benches of the amphitheater at Camp Timber-Lee. I look down at the worn bench and think about thousands of other…
