The Brightest Star

The night sky is a truly beautiful thing. I know I am not alone in thinking this. Many people are drawn to it, and each individual has their own reason. Some are infatuated by its diversity, others by its mystery, or its overwhelming vastness. Everyone has their own perception of the magnificent celestial display.

Yes, many are inspired by the stars, but, as odd as it may be, my reason for setting out for the highest hilltop every night, with telescope in hand, is something I treasure. My reason may seem incredibly ludicrous and silly to most, and I wouldn't blame them for feeling that way. The reason I stargaze is not to watch all the different stars, but to watch just one star: The Brightest Star
