Starlight is light emitted by stars. It typically refers to visible electromagnetic radiation coming from stars other than the Sun, during the night, although starlight technically forms a minor component of daylight as well. Observation and measurement of starlight through telescopes is the basis for many fields of astronomy, including photometry and stellar spectroscopy. Starlight is also a notable part of personal experience and human culture, impacting a diverse range of pursuits including poetry, astronomy, and military strategy.
The U.S. Army spent millions of dollars in the 1950s and onward to develop a starlight scope, that could amplify starlight, moonlight filtered by clouds, and the fluorescence of rotting vegetation about 50,000 times to allow a person to see in the night. In contrast to previously developed active infrared system such as sniperscope, it was a passive device and did not require additional light emission to see.
An example of poetic use of starlight in literature composition is the phrase "frosty starlight". Starlight is (currently) a shade of beige known as Cosmic Latte.

Plot: Young Jack Barham's life had been soft and easy and one of luxury - divided between riding horses and lolling on the veranda drinking milt juleps in the shade. Suddenly, old Colonel Barham passed away and Jack found he was no longer rich. He sold what remained at auction and headed for the wide open spaces of Texas to start a new life. There he met Madge Carter, the dainty daughter of a rancher and thought things were looking up. Then the mare on Carter's ranch turned up missing and, Starlight, the wild-horse that Jack had caught and tamed was accused of leading the mares astray. Jack suspected that two-legged varmits called rustlers were most likely the culprits, and set out to prove it.
