Star Studded Night

Star Studded Night Myriad stars like tiny jewels greet me as I set up my telescope a new moon was the current Lunar cycle, no light to interfere Ophiuchus the Serpentine constellation Slithers across the sky trailing Phosphorous dust in its wake I train my scope on the pinwheel shaped Andromeda constellation its spiral arms reaching far out to space the Helix Nebula comes into view its brilliant colors from a shrinking star a Cascade of meteors from the Perseid shower cap off my night with a glorious display streaking across the dark sky.
