Night skies are the expanse of the atmosphere visible after sunset, filled with stars, planets, and sometimes the moon. The darkness allows for a clearer view of celestial bodies, as artificial light diminishes. The stars we see are actually distant suns, and their light takes years to reach us. In addition to stars, night skies can showcase phenomena like the Milky Way, shooting stars, and auroras. Constellations are patterns formed by stars, often named after mythological figures. Observing the night sky can be a peaceful experience, connecting us to the vast universe beyond our planet.
