It doesn’t matter how long it has been, our love ones will forever be in our hearts and we still miss them.

When I miss my special someone, I look up to the sky because night sky offers comfort, and night sky is beautiful. Sometimes I wonder if he is up there, in heaven among the other stars.

Unfortunately the city is loud, the city is bright. The city is not ideal when we want a peaceful and quiet night.

There is a place not far from Sydney, still not known to many. The Blue Mountains Observatory holds private sections with the guide of an experienced astronomer. Stay in their secluded, cosy cottage with friends and family; together, experience the solemn and serenity of the universe, and let the deep, personal feelings flow.

A note about naming a star

Naming a star is a beautiful way to pay tribute to our love ones. Beware however, that the name does not go on to the official record, but rather private databases from individual providers. Most often the star is chosen for you, and the service cost can be substantial. 

So why not form your own connection with the night sky, by discovering stars directly at the observatory? Let the telescope be your eyes, and have your inner callings decide where to point the telescope at. The sky is vast and amazing, seek and you shall find.

“In one of those stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night. And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend… I shall not leave you.”
