DIAMONDS ON BLACK VELVET

A freezing cold night up in the mountains. Patches of snow everywhere. Moonlight so bright that it hurt to even look.

Four people peering at the night sky through huge telescopes. A whole new world, made up of supernovas, galaxies, and stars. Distances unfathomable by the human mind. Revelations of how insignificant we humans are in the broader scheme of things. A chance to peer into a world hundreds of thousands of light years away with an awe that supersedes speech.

A “magic” star colored violet. Stars that revolve around other stars. Stars being formed. Stars being destroyed. A world that proves that change is the only permanent thing.

Grand finale: Shiny Saturn in all its splendor; rings and moons included. MAGIC…..
