This isn't stargazing, but it's about the same thing and I don't want to create a new tag for it. Essentially, the largest part of my day went to cloud gazing. I gathered a bunch of people and we lay in one of the secluded grassy parts of the dorm which was surrounded by the building on three sides, and looked up.
We, basically Robyn and I, saw many odd things in the clouds. They moved pretty quickly, and formed and fell apart. You blink and it's a whole new cloudscape. One cloud I noticed became a crescent moon, and suddenly an eye-hole opened and a nose extended and a mouth opened. So the moon became the man in the moon, and a silly man, too; it stuck its tongue out. However, my roommate made a few discouraging remarks about the activity and the man shriveled up and flattened out.
After a while I started noticing insects, small ones, flying about. This wasn't the strangest thing, because little white dots like sparks were abuzz all about. They were like flying electrons. And hollow worms appeared and seemed to jump up, then slide downward. Also, there were diatom looking discs with holes in the center. One person there said I was seeing floaters in my eye; the worms were little capillaries or something. It's kind of weird that there are all these little sparks moving around in our eyes.
To my recollection, I've never noticed these things while sitting up or not looking at the sky - both seem to be key elements. I thought it was pretty calming and I would like to experiment with it further.
Today I started sketching a canvas for another painting. I may put off the koi pond even more.
