I see Dots with Halos...

On a comfortable, and pleasantly clear, summer night, I found myself waiting for some one, alone, in my car. So I decided to recline my seat, open the sun-roof, and just look at the stars for a bit. The sky was pretty clear, but as I was on the KSU campus, there was a lot of light pollution.

I was, however, able to see a few stars. Only... They didn't look like stars. At least, not like I remember seeing stars. Instead of stars, what I saw were these little dots. Perfect, round, little dots. And each dot was surrounded by a little halo. And the space between the halo and the dot was filled with a haze of some sort.

No, these did not resemble stars at all.
