I read somewhere that there are roughly 9000 stars visible to the naked eye from earth. I don’t care to take the time to try and disprove that so I accept their count as more or less accurate 😉
Every chance I get I stare at the stars. I find solace in hoping some of my long distance friends are looking at the same ones I am.

@Pinkstarburst I do the same. 🙂

Sadly I live in the light pollution capital of the world, so I rarely see a night sky anywhere close to that. Nice photo.

@Ambroseguy80 I can’t imagine that, at night it’s so peaceful, quiet and pitch black where I live

I do. It's why I have a firepit. You get the best of both worlds here in the country....certainly no bright city lights to fade out the sky.

When I go fishing at night I carry my micro binoculars and at times I sometimes think there must be a god when I look at the night sky.

It's pretty, 🤔 but I'm not gonna let those stars bully me into feeling insignificant. 😬

Yes ever since I was a kid watching tv wondered what it would be to be like lost in space trying to find my way home thx to Dr Smith lol

I count all the stars I can see in the sky every night. One. And the moon. I live in a big city.
Viper · M
No because there are too many stars and not enough time :(
Plus I rather count the cute asses I see 😏

@OogieBoogie that was taken with a proper camera ❤️ It’s such an amazing photo of the Milky Way- such a clear night

@SW-User it's downright SPECTACULAR!
I get to see a fair amount of stars here on a clear night.... But THAT, is really awesome.
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Thats what we'd see.
But cities grow, suburbs have more lamps... and the stars recede.
Before I moved, I lived in a place where you couldn't really see the wash of the milky way anymore, it was just a thin layer of the brightest stars.
Now I get to see it again... But no where near as brilliant as that.
I imagine there are those here who would have NEVER seen a sky like that one.
Do me a favour... Lay out there, stare at the sky, suck up starlight, and enjoy it.
More people should... It's just so beautiful 💜

@OogieBoogie definitely whenever I think it sucks that I’m so far away from the city and don’t have the convenience…I realise just how lucky I am…people would kill to have a beach on the doorstep, the fresh sea air and the fabulous night skies. My favourite thing is to lie in the still night and enjoy the show

Beautiful picture and yes, I can do that at anytime as I live in a small town and we don’t have much light pollution.

According to legend.. There's as many stars in the sky as grains of sand on the earth✨

@SW-User the universe is a big place…I could quite believe it
