i'm a leopard.

i've never seen quite so many stars.

before i moved to my current location, i lived in a little town in the middle of nowhere. i was able to see many stars at night; the only dilemma was that the neigbor's trees got in the way. since then, my stargazing has been very limited.

but last night, while on the plane, i chanced to look out the window a little after the moon had risen. at first i saw Orion, clear and bright, and that had me with my face plastered to the window, hands moving desperately to shade the windowpane from the glare of the cabin lights. From there, thousands of stars made themselves visible to me. it was breathtaking. all of these little lights, some i had never seen before. i was able to make out Orion, Lepus, Canis Major, something that may or may not have been Cetus, and the northern crux. as we approached my city, the clouds even cleared up and allowed me a glance at what i believe to be the evening star, aka mars. it was epic.




just thought i might share that with you.

later. -Cat
