Do you like to watch the sky?
Yes, I do! Actually, my region in Spain, Andalucia, is known for having over 300 days of sun a year! With this said, there are few things more relaxing than lying out on the beach on summer afternoons, staring up at the cloudless sky. Furthermore, the sunsets here are just magnificent, often displaying colors like cotton candy. Since I live on the tenth floor of my building, I almost always watch the sunset.
What is the sky like at night in your hometown?
Marvelous! Since there isn’t much light pollution here, you can see the stars very clearly at night. I sometimes like to go out on the beach at night with a blanket and gaze at the brilliance of the shining stars. It makes me feel in awe of just how amazing the universe is. There are few things more romantic than that!
Do you like to watch stars?
Absolutely! For one, it’s a very romantic activity, so I like to do it with my boyfriend. Moreover, I like to go out to star-gaze with my friends. We have a fun activity where we try to find different shapes in the stars then call them out to each other.
Have you ever taken a course about stars?
No, I have never formally studied astronomy since it wasn’t available at my school. However, I think it would be interesting. Fortunately, my grandfather was really into astronomy so he shared his knowledge with me, as well as gifted me an encyclopedia loaded with useful information.
What’s your favorite star?
I’d have to say the star constellation Orion, which is easily spotted on winter nights. I find this constellation interesting because it has everything, including a giant red star which could explode at any moment, a young blue star, and even a nebula (a cloud of gas) where new stars are being born. It’s complex and magnificent!
How does the sky affect your mood?
The sky has a significant impact on my mood. On sunny days, I feel more energetic and optimistic. Conversely, cloudy or rainy days can make me feel a bit down or melancholic. I find that a clear, blue sky really lifts my spirits and makes me feel more positive.
Do you prefer to watch the sky during the day or at night?
I enjoy watching the sky at both times, but I find the night sky particularly captivating. The stars and moon create a serene and enchanting atmosphere that’s hard to match during the day. That said, sunny skies and stunning sunsets are also incredibly beautiful and uplifting.
How do you feel about weather changes?
Weather changes can be quite invigorating. I find it fascinating how the sky and weather can shift so dramatically. It can be a bit inconvenient at times, but it also adds variety to my daily routine and offers new experiences and perspectives.
Do you think the sky has a symbolic meaning?
Yes, the sky often carries symbolic meanings for many people. For instance, a clear, blue sky can symbolize freedom and endless possibilities, while a stormy sky might represent challenges or turbulence. Personally, I see the sky as a reflection of the ever-changing nature of life.
