"...those star-fires crowding yonder clear blackness, that icy sweep of the galaxy, and Terra already a blue jewel falling away into depths beyond depths - reached in and seized her."
-Poul Anderson, A Stone In Heaven IN Anderson, Flandry's Legacy (Riverdale, NY, 2012), pp. 1-188 AT VI, pp. 64-65.
The galaxy is the Milky Way so here is another description of the Milky Way.
The planet Ramnu is also compared to a jewel. See A Planet In Space III. Good night, all.
