Thank you, @FA73 for hosting this week’s starry theme, a wonderful intro, beautiful examples, and hosting while traveling! Safe travels and enjoy. And many thanks to @xincinsin, for hosting Flights of Fantasy and sharing your beautiful collection.Happy Sunday, Scarflandia Galaxy!
Thank you to @xincinsin for a fun and light week and to the scarf mistresses for inviting me to guest host what is going to be another “stellar” week thanks to you all. When I accepted, I anticipated a week staying at home and going through my scarves at leisure. It turns out that not only I will be traveling, but in a faraway land, with no scarves at hand, so the modeled pics will be mostly from the archives. And I apologize in advance if I don’t get to comment on your posts as often as I would like, or in a timely manner. I will be 6 hours behind my usual time zone!
So, what are stars ⭐⭐⭐? Science tells us that they are massive spheres of plasma, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, held together by gravity. Their brilliance originates from nuclear fusion at their cores, emitting immense energy in the form of light and heat. Something like this 🔭 ⁉️ :

But no matter what we know through science, stars remain shrouded in mystery. Throughout history, they have been sources of superstition, tales, and beliefs. They embody wonder, and the contemplation of a starry sky 🌃 stirs a profound reflection on our place in the vastness of the universe. And vastness it is! Astronomers estimate the observable universe may contain up to one septillion stars, (that's 1 followed by 24 zeros!). The Milky Way galaxy has more than 100 billion stars. While approximately 9,000 stars are visible in the entire sky with the naked eye, only about 2,000 are visible from a single location on a very dark night.

For us Earth dwellers, the star of our show is the Sun.🌅

I don’t have many scarves depicting the Sun (many with stars✨, which I hope to share a few this week) but here are three:

Beautiful and great wedding photo too @Redbirdhermes! I am eyeing all these Tyger Tyger 90s with frank envy...Thank you to @xincinsin for leading us in soft feathery scarves last week. Here is my scarf from yesterday evening. I had a chance to show it to my niece, the bride, how Costume de Fete depicted a Polish wedding.

Welcome to @FA73 and thank you for the lovely, starry introduction. With all the talk of the new Tyger, Tyger lately, I decided to pull this starry beauty out for today.

Tyger, Tyger is my starry scarf of the day.

Truly stunning colorway! 😍Thank you to FA73 for directing our gaze to the heavens this week! I am overjoyed to introduce a new star in my silk firmament: La Voie Lactée in dark blue. This shows but a tiny fraction of the 2000 stars visible to the naked eye but as a dyed-in-the-wool stargazer, I really wanted this wonderful cw-- it truly is like a starry sky! Inspired by many of you on this design and several twins on this cw...

Congratulations on your new-in @Lellabelle! And thanks for sharing that Clair de lune, one of the most beautiful and perfect b&w shawls imo, so dreamy...I am so tempted but try to discipline myself to stay within my collecting themes..resistance might be futile.Off topic, with my new grand tra la la, the indigo side (though it is reminiscent of a moonlit night sky).

And an archive pic, to be on theme - CDL CSGM, also with the pegase ring. Love this one:

Thank you for hosting what is sure to be a stellar 🌟 week, @FA73! Here's a charming star-filled CSGM dedicated to Orpheus.
There happens to be a spectacular ancient Roman mosaic floor devoted to Orpheus in Volubilis, Morocco near Meknes / Fes.... I've never been, but it's on my travel wish list! The imagery in this shawl feels quite similar.

I spent the afternoon reading / lounging outside on the last nice day for a while before another heat wave sets in. It's a book on women in Islam written by the same author who wrote the book Horse that I just finished. Geraldine Brooks. Nine Parts of Desire was her first book and Horse her most recent. It matched well with a soundtrack of some of my favorite tunes from North African musicians, making me dream of a getaway to Morocco. I've wondered what it would be like to read Terre des Hommes / Wind, Sand, and Stars by St. Exupery while out in the desert lounging under a palm tree at an oasis by day and sleeping out under the stars by night. Dark skies are so rare these days. I hear most city kids grow up never having seen the Milky Way...
Archive shot, because I didn't go anywhere near silk today. Helios had me sweating way too much!
Good morning!
Thank you @FA73 for a lovely intro and for making us see stars!
My american themed scarves have a slight timeout in ye olde scarf trunk, but the star theme and current events let Faune et Flore du Texas briefly out to air as sotd

Wish you a lucky day!
Morning all,
Today with probably my most used scarf, double faced Orpheus and it hits this week and last week theme with stars and birds. The new season Dans Les bras de Selene makes me think of this so much and I think that’s why I love it. So many details. Have a lovely day and week ahead.
What a beauty @Croisette7, and I am in awe of the range of matching jackets and jewelry you have!today with Sur un Tapis volant and the starry border
