Romeo uses a lot of imagery of light against dark to describe Juliet. "Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.", "What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun", and "she hangs on the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear". Juliet does the same: "Thou wilt lie on the wings of night whiter than new snow upon a raven's back."

And there are stars everywhere. "Star-crossed lovers", "some consequence, now hanging in the stars", "take him and cut him out in little stars", and "two of the fairest stars in heaven having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their sphere till they return"
