'Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are...' Children who can sing this nursery rhyme must think that stars in the sky have shiny little eyes and are playfully winking at us every day! Little Panda wants to gently correct this beautiful misunderstanding: actually, out in chilly space, stars don't wink their eyes at all! Because they are so far from us, when their starlight travels a long way and plunges into Earth's coat of atmosphere, the natural air layer keeps moving around due to hot and cold currents. As starlight passes through this swirling, moving air, it gets lightly bent and refracted back and forth, making it look like it's flashing to our eyes. If you look at stars from a space station where there is no air to block them, they never twinkle at all. So, the lovely 'twinkling star' illusion is actually a special romantic little magic trick gifted to us by Mother Earth's atmosphere!
