Starlight
Night sky luminance
Starlight is the light emitted by stars, especially as seen from Earth at night.
The word evokes a soft, distant glow: We walked home by starlight.
Starlight carries romantic or wistful connotations—something faint but beautiful, far away yet visible: starlight reflecting on the water.
