Night sky

consistently throughout the summer. We would lay on her trampoline, look at the stars, and have detailed conversations about space. While we were lying down in the palpable darkness, we would identify as many constellations as possible. Although, the main night that stands out to me, was when her father brought his telescope outside to give us a close viewing of Jupiter. That moment still affects me today since I have continued to stargaze in my yard or when I’m in the vast cornfield around my…

purple hue and the crowd cheered as the first of the meteorites streaked across the sky. The crowd oohed and aahed every minute or so as a new one appeared. Each meteor’s trail was different, some were white some blue or blue. The favorites were the red. They seemed wider and appeared to float in the air and sink for a second before fading out. The NiteOwls were at the top of the beach and staring amazed as the sky lit up as more and more meteorites fell. The guys were old time fishing Montauk…

They want to take control of their victims to make them weak and helpless so they will follow them and do all their biddings. They take their victims under their control by taking their blood to the point of near death. Vampires are night crawlers, who keep to the night and wait in dark remote places. These are typical features of vampires throughout each…

Many skywatchers rate October as one of the year’s best observing months. The early sunsets mean that most of the summer’s stars linger in the west late into twilight. Waiting up only a few hours more brings many of winter’s best sights into view in the east, and it’s not too cold yet in the mid-northern latitudes. Even though the Autumn season is firmly in place, not all of the summer Milky Way has been lost. A short drive into the countryside away from city lights will reveal an impressive…

homeward toward dawn. "I implore you, unwavering cloak. Let her be," The Night sky would moan. Its unearthly-meander spilling into the earth below. "Tell me I do not love the evidence of dawn!" but the wind's mouth does not converse, it only whispers the truth--should you listen. Should you have ears to hear,"tell me she doesn't love me!" Limbless. Formless. As if a breath! The fragmented light threw her arms about the night sky! Spilling her luminosity into form... Bleeding, as the wind…

In astronomy, precession is an important concept that determines our view of the night sky. Over the centuries, our view of the night sky has changed due to precession. As a result, everyone should have the right and a duty to know about astronomy. Precession impacts our night sky; thus it is crucial to be aware of. Precession is caused by the axis of rotation twisting due to the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon that makes the Earth’s axis upright relative to its orbit…

I have always been fascinated with the night sky and have enjoyed looking up at it without the light pollution. While living in Las Vegas I would have to commute at least an hour past Red Rock or Valley of Fire to escape the bright lights of the city. Since moving to a small town I have been able to enjoy watching the moons and her phases, meteor showers, and seeing where the constellations are in the night sky. William Herschel was a German composer, teacher, and musician residing and…

Between work and school, I had no down time. I had a hard time falling asleep at night, I could not relax. Worried about what college I would end up in and if I could succeed in my career of nursing. It was a Saturday night and I went to bed early completely miserable. I was struggling in my math class and was not sure if I was going to pass. Although I had been having a difficult time falling asleep that night, however I fell asleep relatively fast and had an amazing beautiful dream.…

The weather was fair and the last rays from the sun where casting across the sky. Billy was walking in the park at night when he heard branches snapping in the bushes. Suddenly a massive creature lunged out at him slashing its claws… Billy awoke with a yelp. ‘‘just a dream,’’ he said to himself. It was a nice saturday morning in his cozy little home located in newton kansas. He ate breakfast (which consisted of pancakes and scrambled eggs), got dressed, brushed his teeth and then turned on the…

had to go out at least twice to look up into the night sky. This changed my understanding of the night sky. I started to paint pictures in the heavens. Connecting the dots of constellations, Ursa Major, Scorpius, Lynx, all coming to life before my eyes. Showing me their unique stories of love, honor, or greed. Those nights standing in the middle of my porch, getting a sore neck, made me contemplate my place. I made a startling discovery the night I was looking for Jupiter, the biggest planet in…
