We raise our heads to see stars and lower our gaze to find asterisks —stars pressed onto paper, their stems radiating outwards like constellations inked against the void. These sporadic marks, scattered across the two-dimensional blackness of text, activate expandable spaces for thoughts and redirect attention like celestial flares. Taking after the Greek asteriskos, they function as citations, breaks, censorship, or edits—each a point of light in the textual cosmos.

Just as starlight travels billions of years to reach human eyes, these asterisks are points of vestigial and prophetic references. Ever-changing in human interpretation, these patterns overwrite each other, yet individuals never cease to recognize meanings in the palimpsest of signs. The asterisk blinks, and its meaning recalibrates. Stargazing does not lead to eternal truth, but we watch on, mapping glitching signs to meanings that shimmer across the vastness of time.
