Sure enough the telescope came to life and a world of stars revealed itself. She could see them with her bare eyes as well, but there was a different thrill to watch them upclose.

She had just focussed on a spot when a star shot itself across the lens.

Whatever I've set my gaze upon has fell in an instant. There's a whole twenty years of history to prove it. Then why should stars be an exception.
