D'aaaawww!

Even before MLP:FIM, I would absolutely love to go stargazing somewhere without a ton of light pollution. I hear in naturally dark areas, you can actually see the Milky Way galaxy...I don't think I've ever experienced it first-hand. I think Luna has re-ignited that urge to go stargazing again. :)

When I was small, my father used to take me with him to the mountains, carrying on his back an expensive telescoped that seems to be too large for a single person to carry, all so I could go watch the stars and remember their names.

My dad was an astronomer and always told me that no matter what, he would always be with me, looking down from high above, traveling through the stars.

He told me one thing: "Son, this stars you see there? Most if not all of them are gone, their light mere memories of what they were, but son, memories are powerful, as are stars. They might go away but if you can still name them and know where they are, they always exist. Stars are eternal my sun, as is the universe. And one day I will join them and so will you, so always smile."

I always thought he meant he was becoming an astronaut, today I know better.

I didn't touch a telescope for 5 years after it happened, why would I? It was his telescope, it was his mountain, who was I to think I could do it?. It was left forgotten in a corner, ignored and forgotten by me. Then I saw the show and I remembered.

My father doesn't carry the telescope anymore, but I do know he is looking down, laughing like he used whenever I mess up the inclination or left the lid on.

And I have this show to thank for that.

I don't know why I fell like sharing that...

@Heartmend: On a hilltop about 40 miles from this town, one can see the swirled shape of the Milky Way on a clear night. I hope you can find a similar place. There can be so many stars visible that you can no longer tell them apart easily, even to find Polaris.
One of the things I enjoy about nightfall in the mountains is the way sounds seem to become clearer, and how they echo and deepen as the air cools.
@Anon974: Night is a good time to remember what was, as day is good for planning what may be, and twilight is best for simply taking in what is. May your memories be good.
