Same. x3

I was once guilty of the crime of poetry about this subject. Worse, it's a sonnet!

Stargazer

I knew a man who watched the midnight sky,
The earth to him a place to stand upon
And see the constellations flying high,
The Dragon and the Eagle and the Swan.
I asked him why. He said, "When I was ten,
"I had a telescope and I would look."
I asked him why. He said, "Well, later then,
"In school, I had some time, I read a book."
I asked him why. He spoke of seeking facts,
Of measurements which need devoted skill,
Of information which the world still lacks.
I said, "No. Tell me why." And he fell still.
Then swept his hand across the blazing sky
And smiled with silent joy and shining eye.

This is really great actually, thanks for sharing!

I've never been an early riser.

It's captivating. Dark sky places are the greatest. The only thing the early birds get, is the worm. I'll see myself out.

And if you live far enough North, the Aurora .

Though in my area I still hear the birds at night, mainly Killdeer and grackles.

I am far north enough to see it very occasionally, not often, it's always so special when I do see it <3

So true

That's a mood I know well.

It's a shame there's so much light pollution that most people have to travel for such views.

It’s assumed that night owls are just genetically different than day people. There is evidence that those who enjoy the night are wired that way and it’s assumed that it’s like that so they can protect their people while they sleep.

Children of the night protect others in their most vulnerable state <3

Love this <3
