Abstract
The article focuses on Bieke Depoorter's book, *Blinked Myself Awake*, which explores the themes of astronomy, stargazing, and the relationship between photography and objectivity through personal narrative and imagery. Depoorter reflects on her encounters with individuals observing the cosmos, emphasizing the connection between looking outward at the stars and introspection. The work highlights the contrast between the act of stargazing and contemporary distractions, such as smartphone use, suggesting that wonder and knowledge begin with the act of looking up. The article features various photographs by Depoorter that capture people engaged in the practice of observing the night sky. [Extracted from the article]
