Somewhere we’ve read that if people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, they’d live a lot differently for sure.

After analyzing this sentence, we’ve realized that a big truth hides behind these wise words. Living in this stressful environment is a big challenge we face every day but staying calm and trying to handle every situation properly is even a bigger challenge.

Now, let’s imagine that after every hard day we decide to sit outside and try to connect with ourselves by simply looking at the sky and listening to what silence has to tell us. Pretty peaceful feeling takes you over even when you only think about it right?

If this is one of those hard days for you and you want to relax, then let’s get lost in the sky together! Go out side, sit on the stairs or on the ground, chin up and let your eyes dance with the stars while you find yourself by loosing yourself. Meet us halfway?

Amazing and unbelievable objects such as stars, the Moon, Planets or Constellations appear in space and we can see them with naked eye or telescope, but what about things we can’t see and maybe are even more incredible than these?

Who knows what’s out there or are we even alone? Nobody! Humans have been around for a long time, there’s no way to tell, but I’m certain we’ve been looking up towards the heavens and admired the beauty of the night’s sky and wondered who created all of this.

A long, long time ago, our forefathers identified large and bright stars which appeared to be located close together and looked like something that is found here on Earth. In reality, this is extremely untrue and the stars are vastly spread out and apart from one another.

Constellations are simply a collection of stars which make the shape of an object. Today we are going to represent you 11 most stunning Constellations, better said stars floating in the Universe you will definitely admire!

As you already know, a cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.

All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can’t hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.

Clouds are given different names based on their shape and their height in the sky. Some clouds are near the ground. Others are almost as high as jet planes fly. Some are puffy like cotton.

Others are grey and uniform and today we have discovered 6 types of them you have never seen or heard of before. Scroll down and enjoy the natural sky art!

At night we can not see the sky up above. To show this, French photographer Thierry Cohen, has taken a series of photographs called “Blackout City”, where the largest cities, such as New York, Paris, Tokyo, are sleeping peacefully and are lit only with stars.

In order to take these photographs, he visited nine megalopolises and took pictures of the landscapes’ cities and then went to a deserted place in the same latitude, but shooting photos with a clear sky. So it happened that the sky over Shanghai – is Western Sahara, and Paris was illuminated with stars of Montana.
