Why do stars twinkle?
In: Other
Not the real reason, but the one in like to fantasize about.
All the dog spirits in the heavens are looking down at their old families. They wag their tails when they see us and this causes the stars to twinkle.
Reality is cool too.
Stars are so far away, they’re tiny beams of light when it gets to us, like a column of light narrower than a hair.. Constant air movement interrupts this super-narrow column of light a teensy bit, but it’s enough tho interrupt all the light in that thin column. This causes the twinkle. If the column of light is just a bit wider, like the planet Jupiter, it’s too wide for the moving air to interrupt all the light, so it doesn’t appear to twinkle.
