starry sky
Celestial points overhead
A starry sky is the night sky when stars are visible, typically clear and dark enough to reveal celestial bodies.
The phrase evokes wonder, romance, or contemplation: We lay on the beach under a starry sky.
Van Gogh's painting *The Starry Night* has made the image iconic in art.
