STARS ARE JUST AMAZING!!
When i can't sleep i just watch the stars <3 <3
 
I used to be a lot more impressed with them but since there's so much light pollution in Toronto where I've mainly lived for the last decade, there's not really a whole lot to see. More stars are noticeable out where I am now but not by a whole lot. So I don't really care much now.

But if I'm out at a campsite or the relative wilderness (which is a rarity but still happens!), I almost always take notice and I'll stop to really appreciate it when I do.
 
I tend to only really notice them:

1) Christmastime, dunno why. Seems to be when I bother looking XD

2) At the beach. Call me a cliche online dating profile, but I enjoy taking walks on the beach in the evening XD Stars are out and visible then.
 
I love them. They make me question everything. The closest star to us is about 4 light years away, absolutely no chance that humans will be able to travel there with our current technology. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is approx. 100,000 light years across - just remember that light travels 300,000km per second, or 9.5 trillion km a year, and it takes 100,000 years for it to travel this galaxy - and we are just one galaxy out of billions! Space is incomprehensibly huge, and I love it, I love there is just so much to explore, but I'm also sad that we'll never be able to see most of it in our lifetime. I can see the stars at my home, but at campus at uni I think there is probably too much light pollution.
 
The night sky always fascinated me (though when I was younger the moon and the idea of aliens scared me), and it still does. I always like going outside in the later hours of the night when everything is quiet and clear, and I look up and just feel really small.

Winter's my absolute favorite time to be stargazing. I can recognize the constellations easier, especially Orion, which has always been and always will be my favorite constellation. (If I ever get lost, I hope it's in the wintertime and at night!) Plus the weather is cooler and the sky clearer, especially where I am.

Stargazing is amazingly fun, and I love just sitting outside on my swing, staring up and seeing so many wonderful things.
 
Stars,one of my favourite things to look at when I need something to inspire or think deeply about.They're beautiful in my opinion and I always felt like an ant,seeing stars thinking of all those other planets in different galaxies,spinning around their own sun.

When I was younger,around 4 I thought stars had aliens to be honest n_n.I used to wait for the day where I'd see an aeroplane and exclaim"It's a UFO,Dad!" and then be corrected xD. I still do that,sometimes :3.
 
To me, stars were a passing fad - incredible, extraordinary things as a small child, something unimpressive that I see every night now.
