 Jupiter's Satellite
After marveling in Mars's glory earlier that morning, Tora went to the lake to see if she could find Saturn in the same night. She pulled out her Astreglobe, the compass that showed the celestial bodies and their positions to the holder, from her bag for the second time that night. She pulled out the side compartments and smiled when she found Saturn in the myriad of stars within the magical globe. She turned around until the red arrow on the compass that showed the direction she was facing was pointing towards the planet before setting up her telescope.
She fiddled with the settings until Saturn came into full focus. This was one of her favorite planets. Even though she knew that she would never walk upon it, she loved the rings and their effect. The rims of ice and other debris looked so pretty from this far away. It was amazing how wonderful something so huge, so far away could look so beautiful. She felt lucky to live on Earth where she could see the entire picture of majesty from the planet.
She gazed up at Saturn until she realized that she was yawning every couple seconds. It made sense for her to be tired, she had stayed up all night after all. Time to pack up and get some sleep. Luckily it was now a Saturday so no classes, and she could sleep in. She smiled as she walked sleepily back to the castle. She couldn't wait for the next night when she would go find more stars.
