What are some great words for describing the dark depths of the night sky?

    Who is the one looking at the sky, in the piece you are writing? The sky naturally engenders metaphor, so that descriptions of it always have an emotional subtext. Is the deep black calming or cold, horrific or serene? Knowing the mood will maybe change how you describe the depth.

    I've always been fond of describing it as velvety.

      I thought of the same thing even though I don't think I've actually used that description except in one idiotic daydream I used to play through in my head a lot.

    I don't know that I describe the dark depths as often as I describe the stars...
