A narrow exterior staircase with dark iron handrails climbs from a small lower entrance to a balcony; every step has a thin undisturbed layer of snow. One adult astronomer in a dark red winter coat stands on the balcony with a small white notebook held closed in one gloved hand, looking toward the sky. Place a warm amber lamp immediately above the entrance, creating a pool of light on the stone without illuminating the whole landscape. In the lower left foreground, a crooked pine tree and two exposed granite rocks frame a winding path that leads toward the building. Behind the observatory, show distant mountain ridges fading from slate blue into violet mist. The sky contains scattered sharp stars and a faint natural Milky Way band, with no oversized planets or fantasy moons. Balance warm interior light against cold ambient snow light, use physically plausible perspective, careful separation of the staircase rails and the figure, and visible differences between copper, stone, glass, fabric and snow. The final scene should feel quiet, inhabited and believable. Do not add titles, labels, logos, watermarks, extra people, extra domes or duplicate staircases.",
