star-strewn
Speckled with lights
Star-strewn describes a sky scattered with visible stars: a star-strewn night sky over the desert.
The word is literary, evoking a sense of stars cast or spread across the heavens like objects thrown onto a surface.
It appears almost exclusively in poetic or romantic descriptions of nighttime scenes.
