I love to stargaze in my spare time. It’s so peaceful, relaxing, and of course beautiful. The night sky is without the sun out and everyone is asleep. It’s just you and stars, oh and the moon too.
Let’s say you look at a star, would you know if that star was dead that every moment? Probably not, you wouldn’t know because that star you are seeing is from the past. This happens because of the light year. It’s crazy how light year actually works, we wouldn’t know exactly what’s going on in the Milky Way right now because of the speed of light. We would have to wait 100,000 years just to find out what exactly is going on in our Milky Way today. like if you wanted to know what was going on in our Milky Way right now we would have to wait 100,000 years later to find out, crazy!
I live in the city in the middle of nowhere in the desert. In order for me to see the stars(perfectly) I would have to drive two hours outside of the city. Ever heard of light pollution?, it really sucks. Las Vegas, Nevada has a lot of light pollution, directly overhead greater than 14,000 per square meter at night. Too much light pollution can wash out starlights and make it hard to see stars.
I remember taking Elliot to go to stargaze with me, it was spectacular. I swear I was the happiest person ever. We had snacks, drinks and slow music in the background. Cuddled up in blankets, laying on the grass. I remember thinking the universe brought us together. I wonder just like how the speed of light works, when I first met him I was seeing him as his past. The perfect person and as time passed by and, you got to look deeper into that person, they start to change. They’re not what you thought they were anymore, dead inside like a star.
