We lost diamond, while finding the gold

In 2005 when I was five years old I lived in middle of rural outback Queensland, Australia in a small mining town. My dad took my younger brother and I out to the airport several kilometres out of town to look at stars.

Back then it was a lot smaller than it is today, the town was less developed and expanded, far fewer mines with them being much further away from town, and the airport was tiny and shut off all lights at night.

We lied down on the gravel of the airport carpark and as I looked up it was the brightest, most detailed and colourful night sky I’ve ever seen till this day. We stayed for a while watching meteors go by. I can remember it clearly till this day. I maybe biased overtime due to memory but the colours I saw I don’t think I’ve seen since just incredibly vivid and vibrant with the galactic dust and gas clearly silhouetted aswell as revealing its transparency.

My dad is a hobby astronomer, but very knowledgeable on the sky and would always point out things like stars or planets. When I was 16 we went out to try his new telescope. At this time a lot more mines have popped up encompassing more of the area, with that the town expanded leading to the airport growing drastically. Once only accomodating small propellor passenger planes with small gravel roads and only outside seating areas, to a large airport with a 2-4 acre concrete carpark accomodating Boeing 737s and larger. It operates through the night causing a lot of light pollution.

We had no option but to attempt to drive further out of town, we ended up finding a nice recently cleared out area and decided to setup up there.

Despite our efforts we could still see the faint glow of the distant mines, it was enough to be noticeable and have an overall effect on the contrast of the night sky. It was a wonderful time anyway the telescope was outstanding; it was just sad to see the fading beauty of it. I haven’t seen a sky as dark as even that night since as I now reside in a city.

There’s something very special about being able to experience that view in its entirety, it’s like you can almost touch the stars. We all need that just like feeling and breathing the air. It’s innate to us, it’s part of us.

i went camping for the second time in my life a while ago with my cousin and her family to celebrate her moms 1 year anniversary of sobriety. i’m glad i might get to go again in a few months beca i cried when i saw the sky. no joke. i live in an area with so much light pollution that i can really only see a max of like 5 constellations if i’m lucky, and i can see jupiter and venus at certain times. but while i was there, i was looking at all the stars when one of my older cousins (not really my cousin but yk) took me a little bit away from the campfire and pointed at the sky.
“do you see that weird cloud?”
“yeah”
“that’s the milky way. not just a cloud.”
i almost cried again lol


btw, if anyone says i’m overdramatic or a wuss, i’ll embrace it lol.
imagine if you saw something you’ve wanted to see your whole life, and it was beautiful. wouldn’t you cry/almost cry tears of joy? plus i have adhd so that might play a part of it but idk
