Looking at the Stars

Product Information

I also love how the author did not set this story in a specific country and made it quite general because the events that took place in this book most certainly represented a lot of what is happening around the world right now. Darker moons help reduce light in the sky and provide better visibility to other sky artifacts such as stars and planets. Twilight is the brightest when a sun has just set and will get progressively darker until dusk. Between dusk and dawn, twilight will be minimal. Thus resulting in a “dark sky.” Amina and Jenna’s personalities are vastly different meaning that the reader should be able to identify with at least one of the girls and place themselves within the story to get a closer feel of what their lives must have been like. It makes us wonder how we would cope ourselves in these situations. Amina is the kind of person who asks questions. She wants to know why things happen and is constantly asking “what if?” Despite being a year younger than Jenna she is the more confident of the two, and it is partly her determination that keeps them alive. Personally, I think I am more like Jenna: quiet, anxious, always wanting to do the right thing. Jenna “just wants everyone to be happy”. Jenna is a realist, whereas Amina is a dreamer.

A heart-wrenching and emotional story that will likely pull at your heartstrings and make you think about the events occurring in the world around us. The cover is lovely, it highlights the aspects of this story that you will truly remember: the strong and loving bond between two sisters and beautiful stories of the stars. Zotti, G., Wolf, A. (2022). Stellarium: Finally at Version 1.0! And Beyond. Journal of Skyscape Archaeology, 8(2), 332–334. https://doi.org/10.1558/jsa.25608War had broken out between the Kwana and an invading country to help save the people of Amina’s country. In the dead of night the Kwana broke into Amina’s house demanding to know where Ruman was. The family didn’t know so in the end the Kwana dragged them out of the house and tried to get answers. Amina tried to lie to save her family but still there was a devastating outcome. There are three primary ways to view your stars. Stargazers can use (1) their eyes, (2) binoculars, or (3) telescopes. Here are the pros and cons of each method. 1. Using what your mother gave you To look at the night sky is to look into the past: we are looking at stars, not as they are now, but as they were thousands, perhaps even millions of years ago.

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. Don't hide the real you behind clouds of darkness; let your light shine as brightly as the star you are inside. Let’s take the learning route because the other one asks us to quit which I don’t like. The most important point is that our lives are continuously growing and evolving. We may take a break and feel sad. Ultimately, we ought to take control of our life’s outcome. We ought to learn to look at the stars- i.e the vision and the ultimate goal instead of only the problems.

Step 2: Finding the Best Location to See Stars

Consult local astronomy clubs, schools, and universities for the best “dark sky locations.” These organizations have recommendations on spots that they have used for gatherings.

When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shining because of distant nuclear fusion." - Cosmos, Carl Sagan Stargazing typically requires at least a few hours of your time and the majority of that time will be spent outside. For younger children or the elderly, summer months may be ideal to make the event less daunting. 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. This reminded me of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell because there's a story within a story and in this case we got some from Amina's storytelling. I dont have an issue with it, not like in the said book.

That whole scene when the soldiers dragged Potta & Amina lied to save them was genius but when Potta actually died and the girls just move on "after crying till their tears dries up". I was expecting something gut wrenching scene where my tears would actually drop... Tony Robbins famously says – Problems are a sign of life.
