Thank you @LKBNOLA, very happy to share these interests with you. I enjoyed so much reading material for this week's theme and learned a great deal too. Looking forward to your contributions (and don't worry about the delay in subthemes, I post at odd hours, being in another continent...still hoping to have the opportunity to share a scarf on-site soon...)Wow @FA73! What an amazing post-- I have bookmarked and saved it. Thank you for the survey class on celestial navigation. When I was young, I often crewed for my Dad on his sailboat and he taught me something about the night sky (of course we also had more modern instruments by then) and I have always been absolutely fascinated by this subject, by the explorers and their courage to take off into parts unknown the way they did. Your scarves are stunning and I am delighted that we share not only an interest in scarves featuring this subject but many of the scarves themselves. I knew absolutely nothing about this aspect of Kawa Ora and my day is enriched by your post in that and many other ways. Brava! I am following your sub-theme s a day later but I think I have some to contribute!🧡 💙
PS Thank you for all the kind comments!
Did someone mention astrolabes?Thank you, @FA73, for the interesting and informative history of celestial navigation.
I did a piece on astrolabes back in December of 2020 here. Four astrolabes decorate the corners of this scarf. In addition, I am delighted to pull out my astrolabe pendant for today.

Reves d'Espace - Breitling edition is my scarf of the day.

Absolutely love this @Redbirdhermes. Thank you for sharing your post from 2020, this was before I joined this wonderful community. I really enjoyed seeing the Apollo 13 crew with a sextant and an astrolabe. And how cool to have an astrolabe as a pendant. A great scarf for this week's theme!
Thank you so much to all of you for your comments, likes, contributions, new acquisitions, travel scarves!
Today, I wanted to explore the star shape in nature. We learned from @Cookiefiend earlier this week that a white marking between or above the eyes of a horse is called a star. Among the hundreds of horses illustrated on scarves, I am certain that there must be one with such a star!
@Redbirdhermes has discussed gemstones in detail during jewelry week. Certain gemstones such as sapphires and rubies display a star-shaped light pattern on their surface, known as asterism. This is caused by light reflecting off tiny inclusions aligned within the crystal structure.
Among animals, the starfish develops radial symmetry in its adult form, with body parts arranged around a central axis. Quoting from the internet: "This shape allows for efficient locomotion and feeding. Each arm is equipped with tube feet operated by a hydraulic system, enabling the starfish to navigate the ocean floor with remarkable dexterity. It also assists in capturing prey, as the starfish can extend its arms in multiple directions, increasing its reach and hunting efficiency. Furthermore, the star shape facilitates regeneration; if an arm is lost to a predator, the starfish can regenerate the missing limb, often retaining its symmetry.”
Sieste au paradis
Under the waves
Other forms of marine life of note are echinoids, sea urchins, and star corals.
The animal kingdom also has this cute and strange creature called the star-nosed mole. If there was a H scarf with it, we would know, right😆? What is the function of such a nose, I wonder?
Many flowers also have radial symmetry, with petals arranged in a repeating pattern around the central stalk. Some fruits, when cut across, can reveal a star-shaped arrangement of internal parts.
Very curious to see any examples on your scarves of gems, star anise, star fruit, star-shaped flowers, crystals, star-shaped marine life!
Have a great day!

Following on @FA73's fantastic post on celestial navigation, I am sharing two jacquards today, both featuring boats and/or explorers.
My new Jonques et Sampans LE made its debut on the Special Editions thread and I am cross-posting here, because not only does it feature boats, but it also boasts stars and a star jacquard! If you are curious about the Special Edition, please check out my post at https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/special-edition-scarves.551572/page-84#post-36375696
My SOTD is another scarf showing explorers--the navigators, scientists and cartographers who circumnavigated, named and explored the Australian continent. No stars that I could find, but a fabulous kangaroo jacquard. There's a wealth of information on this scarf on TPF as well as on the Carré de Paris website (https://carredeparis.me/2017/09/30/le-geographe-hermes-carre-inspiration/). Perhaps I get extra credit because I believe I am twins with our Guest Scarf Mistress!

So sorry for the loss of your friend and neighbor @HermesEchidna. Congrats on your new twilly. I never wore them either, except as a belt loop tie until TPF. Another tiny slope to slide down...good strategizing, too.
Lovely @Jacq1! This is such a great scarf...
Beautiful @FA73-- looking forward to your "scarf-on-site." I am pretty sure that border on Sieste is a treasure trove. I am enjoying your posts and engagement on this theme. Off to investigate my scarves for nature's stars! Thank you for your very nice comments. PS We had those moles in our yard years ago when we lived in the Berkshires but I have never seen one on a scarf! And I do not mind being a day late on the sub-themes: I really enjoy the variations and it sends me back to my scarves looking for new revelations!
I saved my best themed scarf for last:
L‘année des étoiles in a sublime mousseline gavroche. Such a Lucky find!
Today I am especially happy with some pattern matching - this is the first H scarf I felt comfortable combining with my multicolor shirt, made again by my grandmother.

Thank you, FA73!
And thank you so much for hosting this week, insightful posts!
For my talk today the same outfit as 2 weeks ago, with a different bias fold to have a little variation - showing the beautiful colibri feathers.
Here is my starfish, folded to show front and center. Under the Waves is my scarf of the day.
Oh such sad news. Thank you so much for letting us all know. A beautiful tribute on blue week. She was just lovely. And am so glad you got to have a meet up with her and have this connection of friendship.
The color on this is a knock out on you! Wowza awesome
An absolute amazing post!! I bookmarked it! So so good
Oh wow! Bright pink is amazing on you!
I am unable to keep up on this thread, it is moving so fast with all of you gorgeous people.
I am currently travelling in the UK in the midst of a heatwave so no scarf wearing right now except for this cute starry bandana in my hair.
Unfortunately I did not take a picture but here is a photo from a few weeks back.

Gorgeous colors and jacquard. Absolutely beatiful.
If I weren't your twin (thank you dear scarfie), I would seek this out immediately. So beautiful.
Hi friends! Been wearing blue all week in Diana’s memory. Parcours de Golf today.
