The Night Sky (Descriptive Essay)

When I was young I lived in a small village in mainland China with my grandmother. I always lie on the roof of my grandmother 's house at night and I'm staring at the sky.

The night sky I saw was not as dark as the ink. It is indigo and there are lots of trivial things. The stars sparkle like diamonds, but they did not glare at my eyes and did not even draw my attention. I looked at them, extended their hands and tried to catch them. When opening the palm, nothing was found. I frowned my eyes and my cheeks were swelling.

I turned my face and looked up at the stars again. The stars are still shining on me. They like fireworks sparks, but they are not as noisy as fireworks explosions. They are silent. Are they sleeping? I want to wake up, but suddenly thousands of stars began to run like rockets. Maybe they joined the marathon. The participants ran from the east to the west. They walk across the sky. Some of them got on the indigo track for fatigue. Some of them are strong enough and never exhausted. Some of them suddenly disappeared! What happened to them? Is it disqualified due to regulation violation? Did they get injured and brought to the hospital? I immediately shook my head and kicked my regretful imagination from the head.

The meteor shower is still in progress. Millions of meteors crossed the sky, but millions of roads still remain. A shining line is connected, and a huge portrait is drawn on infinite blue purple paper. "Wow!" The star is also a painter! They are not as fine as Picasso, but at least they have better picture skills than I do. In their work there is an attractive woman with attractive dew's eyes, high nose, lips and curl. She is wearing a diamond necklace and a dark blue dress. She gently smarted the skirt and smiled at me. My face is too hot, my heart beats so fast! I turned my face at once and closed my eyes. Sounds such as pit shots, putts, and putts are clearly heard. I took a deep breath, and my breasts often have relief. I gazed at her again, but she still showed a warm smile. She may invite me to participate in the competition. I shook my head as I am not good at dancing. To thank her for inviting, I sang a song for her - "sparkling, glittering, little star". Melody dances in the air and blows in the wind. That woman enjoyed the music and shaken the train gently.

Now I do not live in the village anymore. I live in a city with lots of neon lights. Every night I can see a shiny street. But because of the pollution of the light, when I look up at the sky, I can not see a few stars, a bit of meteor shower, a little shining way ...

The biggest show on the planet, night sky is played every evening. I firmly believe that the night sky is a call for the galaxy of silence of human curiosity. According to the records, humans have seen the sky for over a hundred generations. Humans can predict the overall position of major celestial bodies over 2,000 years ago. This is the cause of contemporary civilization, which leads to seasonal prediction and dawn of large scale agriculture. When it comes to how humans study the universe, the big event is the invention of the telescope. Human eyes are now limited only by the resolution of the telescope. It opens a whole new world to satisfy human curiosity. Let's see this effect one by one.

Early humans were undoubtedly surprised at the night sky. Contemporary attention and lack of harm means that the night sky becomes one of the most wonderful things human beings experienced in their early days. Due to the inherent curiosity of human thought, early humans could not keep observing the sky without trying to understand it. So we have built a story to explain the universe - the myth was born. Through oral tradition, the most popular stories have been passed down through generations and accepted as basic truth. After a while these myths questioned them as religions as heretics and gained such big and intense followers. For example, the ancient Greeks explained the anthropomorphic gods who dominated the world and dominated the laws of nature, but showed human defects and tendencies.
