night sky
Celestial evening view
The night sky is the expanse of space visible from Earth after sunset and before sunrise, characterized by darkness punctuated with stars, the moon, planets, and other celestial bodies.
People speak of gazing at or looking up at the night sky, often in contexts of wonder, romance, or scientific observation.
The night sky was so clear we could see the Milky Way.
Light pollution from cities diminishes what can be seen in the night sky, making rural areas and designated dark sky preserves popular with stargazers.
