Ah, yes, it was indeed quite cloudy tonight. While Clara was partial to non-sunny weather in general, it was a bit disappointing to not have a clear night sky for an Astronomy lesson. Hopefully next lesson the weather might be a bit more suitable.
Clara thought about Professor Kennedy's question. She felt a wave of nostalgia take over as she was flooded with memories of looking outside before bedtime, at nothing in particular. Not every night, of course, but every once in a while. Sometimes she'd see sparkles in the darkness and she'd feel so very small.
She personally couldn't say she disliked any constellations; she was positive they were all important and beautiful in their own way. But that wasn't really giving a direct answer. Clara raised her hand and said, "A great starting question, Professor. I'd say that Lyra is my favorite constellation of them all. Sure, it's not the biggest constellation, far from it, actually... but still, it is so stunningly bright."
Yes, in a vast sea of emptiness, there were tiny spectacles of beauty that humans could see with their own eyes. Amazing.
