  The Sky at Night
The dark blanket of the sky was pierced with a scream and much later with the light of a moon.
Only a small portion of the sky could be seen, reflected from the window next to the bed, but at times I would see the moon in its first quarter, waning in the mirror, and inching slowly from right to left.
If I woke, late at night when all was quiet, and he was not in my mother's bed, I would slip in with her to continue my sleep.

 THE NIGHT THE SKY FELL:
On the night of October 8, 1980, an unidentified person entered plaintiff's condominium unit under cover of darkness and molested, raped and robbed her.

The business judgment rule is rooted in the idea that directors should be entitled to (and in order to properly manage an enterprise must) exercise a broad range of discretion in issues of corporate management and should not be subjected to hindsight assessments of their decisions by the courts.

 Nothing is Easier to See then Lights in the Sky at Night
At night, the most obvious objects are lighted objects — and the most obvious lighted objects are the ones in the sky.
It stands to reason that the use of lights at night is done to be seen better, and the non-use of lights is for concealment.
You couldn’t pick a better way to be seen than to be lighted in the sky at night.

 The Sky at Night : Losing it[1]
Another programme I always used to try to catch was The Sky at Night, which has always been presented by Sir Patrick Moore, a highly respected amateur astronomer who is probably responsible for leading more British professional astronomers into their careers than anyone else.
Yes, it’s coming up to its 50th anniversary, which is a remarkable achievement for any TV programme, and even more so for one that deals with a specialist subject and has never even come close to the insidious dumbing-down that has made most popular science programmes unwatchable.
As the programme tends to be on at odd times, I watch it from the CD that comes with the monthly Sky at Night magazine rather than trying to remember to record it or even watch it live.

 The Sky Clad Night
According to the popular version of the mythological origins of Yama (the god of death), a holy man was once told that if he spent fifty years living in deep meditation in a cave, he would reach enlightenment.
On the night of the twenty-ninth day of the eleventh month of the forty-ninth year, two robbers entered his cave with a stolen bull whose head they proceeded to cut off.
His consort is the blond haired Chamundi, who too is dark as the night, and who straddles the haunches of the bull and Yama's left leg.

 The Sky At Night, 700 BC - A Scholarly Detective Story
The poem, an admonishment to Perses, the poet’s lazy brother, to give up his lazy ways and start working, includes a calendar which uses astronomical signposts to guide farmers on when they should perform various tasks throughout the year, such as ploughing, sowing and reaping.
It wasn’t long before they were able to provide him with a star chart for 700 BC, showing the configuration of the sky as Hesiod himself would have seen it from his home village of Askra (today called Askri), which nestles in the Valley of the Muses near Thebes in central Greece.
Armed with sky charts for the period, Dr Cronin travelled to the valley, stood where Hesiod might have stood and, after a period of careful study of the evidence, concluded that the poet’s calendar was specific to the valley and to the farmers living and working there in 700 BC.

The only blip on the musical radar was Armistead Wellford, the bassist, who went on to play with Gutterball, the indie supergroup including Steve Wynn, both members of House of Freaks, Bob Rupe of the Silos, and a guitarist from the Long Ryders.
"The Sky at Night" reunites all of the original members except for the drummer (although there is a cameo percussion appearance by Bill Berry, the band's first drummer of many—he left very early on in the band's career to devote himself full time to R.E.M.).
Let's hope it doesn't take another 12 years for the next release; in the swamp of rock-rap and boy-band hell that listeners must slog through in today's musical world, bands like Love Tractor are a welcome haven of green that can restore your faith in music.

 Howstuffworks "Why is the sky blue?"
Here is something interesting to think about: When you look at the sky at night, it is fl, with the stars and the moon forming points of light on that fl background.
So why is it that, during the day, the sky does not remain fl with the sun acting as another point of light?
The first thing to recognize is that the sun is an extremely bright source of light -- much brighter than the moon.

 Scotsman.com News - Sci-Tech - Changing shape of the sky at night
AN early experience of astronomy for many of us is to point to a bright object in the sky and ask what star it is, only to hear from a smug elder sibling that it is, in fact, not a star but a planet.
Distinguishing stars from planets is one of the first steps to understanding the contents of our night sky.
It may seem surprising, therefore, that the expert minds of members of the International Astronomical Union have spent the past two years defining what exactly is a planet.
