starry nights
Skies thick with twinkles
Starry nights are nights when stars are clearly visible in the sky—clear, cloudless evenings away from city lights.
The phrase evokes romance, wonder, or contemplation: We spent starry nights on the beach.
Van Gogh's painting *The Starry Night* has made the phrase inseparable from swirling, luminous skies rendered in thick brushstrokes.
