stargazings

Nights watching above

Stargazings is the plural of stargazing—the activity of observing stars and celestial objects, whether as casual wonder or serious astronomy.

Figuratively, stargazing suggests dreamy abstraction or impractical idealism: His stargazings about future success never translated into action.

The plural emphasizes separate instances or sessions: Our weekend stargazings became a family tradition.
