"never seen such things as stars before"

I'm reading a book about a research doctor 

who goes deep into the jungle of the Amazon River

 to rescue a little boy who is deaf and mute.  

On the night she arrived in the remote little village,

 there was no earthly light anywhere.  

This is how the night sky was described.....

"Open your eyes doctor....look at the stars."

"Beyond the spectrum of darkness

 she saw the bright stars

 scattered across the table of the night sky

 and felt as if she had never seen such things as stars before.  

 She did not know enough numbers to count them,

 and even if she did,

 the stars could not be separated one from the other,

 the whole was so much greater than the sum of its parts.  

She saw the textbook of the constellations,

 the heroes of mythology posing on fields of ink.  

She could see the milkiness in everything now,

 the way the sky was spread over with light."

I love descriptive passages...

beautiful words that thrill my soul to His creation.

God made the stars you know....

"Then God made two great lights:  

the greater light to rule the day, 

and the lesser light to rule the night.  

He made the stars also."  

Genesis 1:16

I wonder what the stars will look like from heaven?
