STARS_ENDING OF STPM

Look up above, out of the window, just above the horizon is the unique arrangement of the stars, the Orion  asterism, I always call them a Sagittarius, which is a complete different thing. This asterism isn't alone, they are bundle of stars within, around it, emm, I own a clear night sky today, I can sense that it will be one of my best night, filled with serenity, great.

The stars are always moving, sometimes away from us, sometimes coming nearer to us, and sometimes they just come across each other and then part again. These stars within our sight now is just like a community, like a family, you will always see them together, mostly in the same unique arrangement. A great example is the instant when you see a three stars lining up in a queue making a belt, you can see the Orion constellation, and as soon as you spotted the Orion, you will see the Winter Hexagon just beside the shoulder this man, with the Winter Triangle just within it. Yet, they are seasonal, you can't always see them, as far as I know, Orion is one of the constellation found between the start of December and the end of February, if you see the three stars,Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka line up forming the belt of Orion, which is an asterism, it will not be hard to spot the whole constellation. By the way, the Gemini and Taurus are just near to Orion, but I never see them.

However, the sky is not always so clear, sometimes when the night skies are overspread with dark clouds, you can barely see anything ; if there is a downpour, then it will be just impossible. However, the stars will always be there, even if the earth is washed upon with this salty rain water, beats down with hails, the stars stay shining, burning...

Occasionally, you will see stars blinking every 2 seconds as it glide across the skies when you are counting the stars, and then end up coming to know that it is an airplane navigation light ; and at times they are stars that move so fast from one corner of the sky and disappear at the other corner of the sky, and then have one's finger cross making wishes out of shooting stars ; at times you will even see aliens or UFO if you are fortunate to have one, or unfortunate. These visitors to our world is just like the visitors in our life, sometimes they are the by-standers in the streets and you find them missing when you turn you head around, at times, they are at a special niche, they are a metaphor of an opportunity, or a passer-by sometimes.

Now, looking back to the sky, the stars just shifted their position, still in the same arrangement, but now they are away from the horizon, above my head.
