they consider this constellation the closest one to earth, easily able to be seen by the naked eye. it illuminates vividly, a composition of splattered hot blue on a black canvas. or to our eyes, white.
the first time i noticed the star cluster, my eyes started to unconsciously look for it every night. when i first looked through a lens to view that constellation, it surprised me that it wasn't white stars after all. in fact, it was a deep ocean blue.
that's why you can't tell me that i'm like the sun because even though i shine visibly and keep you warm, my touch is white hot. it's safer if i can see you and know you're safe, rather than touch you.
