Daniel ignores phone calls from his parents and thinks that maybe he won't go to college. He looks up and imagines Natasha's plane, and he thinks that the city has too much light pollution to allow someone to ever see the sky. However, he knows that the night sky gives off light, even if he can't see it.
Understanding that the sky is light even though he can't see it represents the cosmic interconnectedness of all people. Essentially, Daniel knows that Natasha is there and has feelings for him, even if they can't see each other.
