stargaze
Observe the heavens
To stargaze is to gaze at the stars—observing the night sky, whether casually or with astronomical intent: We lay on the blanket and stargazed for hours.
Figuratively, to stargaze is to daydream or indulge in fanciful thinking, your attention drifting upward and away from practical concerns.
