My, God, It's Full of Stars ... and the Stars are Full of Stars


Perchance to dream


Fly on out there, Starrider, since someone will eventually.  You will find places where the stars are so densely clustered there's never any night time for planets which orbit them.  Right away, night-time TV goes away and a whole pack of second-rate comedians end up luggage carriers ... and that's just one of the excellent reasons to be a Starrider; there are many more ... but you know that already, don't you, Starman.

Starwoman:  me too!

Take it easy, Starwoman, since you know how it goes:  everyone looks the same in a spacesuit and the only thing that matters is can you fly.


And you dream of all the stars like dust.


Note:  I increased the contrast just a wee bit in the picture because I wanted a little more impact but there were even more stars before I did that.

Behold the myriad stars.

You're counting them, right?


"My, God, it's full of stars" was the closing line from Commander Dave Bowman in "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the cosmicity of that movie has been flogged harder than any question of the existence of God but the line is cool and you see it lives above.  Whether you see God is your call.
