Looking at the Stars

Product Information

If an object – a star, for instance, like our own sun – is eight hundred light years away from the Earth, it would take light leaving that object eight hundred years until it reached our eyes. So when you look at that object, you are seeing it as it appeared eight hundred light years ago, not as it looks today. It might not even exist anymore. Every time you look up at the stars, you are looking into the past.” This is the real life story of one of the most incredible and inspirational young people in the world. Reading this book might just change the way you think and feel. A Time Machine slider in this best stargazing app lets you view the skies of the past or the future, and you can tap on individual objects for more details. A night mode allows you to stargaze without burning out your night vision, and an augmented reality view overlays the star chart over your camera view.

So begins this sonnet which muses upon the fragility and inconstancy of human life. It doesn’t actually have a title, and instead is known by its first line, ‘Bright star! Would I were stedfast as thou art’, and sees Keats comparing his own condition with that of a star ‘stedfast’ in the night sky.He pointed. I leaned across, trying to follow the line of his arm. "That bright one?" I asked. He nodded. I couldn't be sure I was looking at the same star he was, but it didn't matter. "Good choice," I told him. "This one's a lovely story. That warrior is called Clemus, and he grew up in the countryside. " However, this is not the case with our sun. The Sun is awfully far away from Earth – approximately 150 million kilometers away, to be more specific! Light rays from the Sun have to cover this distance before they reach the Earth to sun our skin and light our skies. It turns out that this journey (of light rays) takes 8 minutes. Simply put, despite it’s extreme speed, light from the sun still takes 8 minutes to reach our planet.

A list of my favourite inspiring quotes about the stars. They touch upon themes of wonder, beauty, mystery, and the connection between us and the universe. That’s a good point about pollution, Frank. Stars, that age-old trope of poetry, were now suddenly becoming obscured by industrialisation, lending their ‘poetic’ quality a new poignancy. Especially if we consider that in Hulme’s ‘The Embankment’ the setting is modern-day London… It was really typical story about civil war & personally, I've seen a few movies that cover the same story arc minus the storytelling talent of Amina.

Factor 1: The phase of the moon— The brightness and size of the moon depends on the moon’s current phase, which is determined by the position of the sun relative to the moon. Jo Cotterill has imagined a nameless world which is filled with real, believable events. As people are shot, die of malnutrition and are beaten beyond recognition, you have to remind yourself that Amina is only a child and alone in this with only another child, her sister, for company. Throughout the novel I had to remind myself of this a few times as the maturity they exhibit goes far beyond their years. The quenchless stars, so eloquently bright, untroubled sentries of the shadow'y night.” - The Omnipresence of the Deity, Robert Montgomery The story is told through the eyes of thirteen year old Amina, whose imagination offers hope in the darkness and whose voice cries out to be heard in a world where women are routinely suppressed and segregated. But there was one part of the plot that really damaged the book - the love triangle between the two sisters and Aron.It’s hardly surprising the line has become one of Wilde’s most frequently cited: it embodies the spirit of Aestheticism, art for art’s sake, the worship of beautiful things that serve no practical purpose, in a memorable and quotable quip. To The People Who Look At The Stars,Inspired by ACOMAF and the Night Court,A Court of Thornes and Roses Wall Art,ACOTAR Merch War has fallen upon Amina's homeland. So far her family has been safe however, when new laws are pronounced, things turn upside down. As they travel across the country to find hope and help, they venture into a place that is different in ways from their own, they are alone and searching. When I have a terrible need of — shall I say the word — religion, then I go out and paint the stars." - Van Gogh Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky/ You can see the stars and still not see the light." - "Already Gone," The Eagles

In just seven lines, the father of English modernist poetry, T. E. Hulme, captures the mood of a ‘fallen gentleman’ sleeping rough by the Thames. Looking up at the beautiful night sky, the homeless and hapless man longs to grab the ‘star-eaten blanket of the sky’ and wrap himself in it for warmth. A sort of reversal of Oscar Wilde’s famous line, ‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’: here, we can all look at the stars, but some of us are in the gutter …The life of the Irish novelist, poet, essayist, and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is as famous as – perhaps even more famous than – his work. But in a career spanning some twenty years, Wilde created a body of work which continues to be read an enjoyed by people around the world: a novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray; short stories and fairy tales such as ‘ The Happy Prince’ and ‘ The Selfish Giant’; poems including The Ballad of Reading Gaol; and essay-dialogues which were witty revivals of the Platonic philosophical dialogue. Telling stories was such a simple yet effective way for Amina to help others and it moved me so much the way she was able to connect with others and comfort them just by creating this elaborate story about warriors in the sky. It distracted everyone from reality and it gave them hope and an escape from the perilous times they were currently in. I think this aspect of this book for me was what made me love it even more. Seeing the power of storytelling through Amina reminded me so much of how important having an imagination is and how it can bring others so much happiness, even during dark times. G.
