Star Gazing

I downloaded this new app for my phone called SkyView Lite. As you tilt the phone upward, it labels all the stars and planets in view, as well as the constellations of which they are a part.

It works even during the day AND, if you point the phone at the floor, it will show you the stars on the other side of the globe. Just the other day I discovered the International Space Station orbiting beneath my dining room table.

Stars. Magical dazzling pieces of light. Bringing a little bit of heaven to earth.

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.”
