Why do stars twinkle?

Have you ever seen a spy-fi movie. And  felt like you were lost in
space. With all the twinkling stars, the milky way the planets &
much more wonderful things. do you imagine about what it would
be like to live on another planet or if aliens are real?  Have you ever
wondered to yourself is there a planet out there better than
Earth is a planet more spectacular?

It’s so easy to let  your imagination run wild. T
o let it  just take control of your body when you look up at the stars.
Do you ever wonder how far away the stars really are?  
Did you ever think that the reason why the stars twinkle is because
there’s another life force trying to contract us Earthlings?

When you look for other planets and you see stars or
constellations and they flicker or twinkle do you ever stop
to think that it’s another planet trying to communicate with the
Earth? Or is it just your imagination your mind that’s playing
tricks on you and the stars aren't actually twinkling.

We’ll  don’t worry because it’s not your eyes just playing tricks.
The stars do look like their twinkling but  blame the Earth
for that or rather the atmosphere. The reasons to why scientists
said the stars twinkle is because of the astronomical scintillation.

Earth’s atmosphere is quiet turbulent at times.
As it reaches right into the sky. It varies in density and temperature.
To be able to see the stars the light from the distant stars must pass
through Earth’s ever changing atmosphere.

When light travels through the galaxy it reflects in different
directions constantly. And your eyes settle on a star in the sky then
seconds later it's no where near where it was before

So next time you think to yourself why stars twinkle you’ll know why
