starlit skies
Nocturnal heavens glittering
Starlit skies are night skies illuminated by stars, especially when clear and bright enough for stargazing.
The phrase evokes romantic or contemplative settings: We walked home under starlit skies.
It appears frequently in poetry, song lyrics, and descriptions of rural or wilderness nights away from city lights.
