see the stars from a dark area

I have seen stars at night and then I HAVE SEEN STARS AT NIGHT when it was blacker than black out and it left me feeling very wonderous about the whole life cycle and how fleeting time truly can be if not paid attention to….

There are several places I’ve been able to see the stars clearly from a dark area. I remember driving out of El Paso with my father when I was about 15 and the stars were amazing. I had a similar experience last year when I saw the night time sky from Kangaroo Island in Australia.

I’m always in awe at the sheer number of stars in the sky. I find it even more amazind that there are thousands if not millions of stars that we can’t see at our galaxy’s core due to the dust between them and us.

Whenever I was having a tough time in college I’d go to the roof of the student union and just lie on my back and look up at the stars. Something about the wonder of the universe kicked me back into gear and got me going again.
