"...the sole outside illumination was a wintry blaze of stars." (6, p. 44)
Ryerson lifted:
"'...a heavy head to the foreign stars. The Milky Way formed a cold halo about his tangled hair." (p. 47)
Nakamura says that:
"'Space is a good place to meditate...'" (ibid.)
- and adds that Zen meditation is an attempt to identify with the universe. Not in my experience but oneness with the universe is there in the background, nevertheless.
Nakamura:
"...saw the dead sun through a viewscreen, when his ship swung so that it transitted the Milky Way." (p. 48)

Kaor, Paul!
And as we know, that's a very Andersonian touch, expressions like "wilderness of stars," a "glory of stars," and now a "blaze of stars."
