That's a myth. Twinkle is caused by air currents, not by what kind of celestial body the light comes from.
My guess is that it's the spot light on a helicopter. Maybe an airplace. Possibly a flying saucer.
planets don't twinkle, the difference is that planets are disks of light. Stars arn't.

First twinkles, and now four moons. Positively disgusting...Speaking of Erith:

Wrong. Uranus is Mag 5.9 at best, decent dark skies will show Mag 6 objects, great skies will give 6.5.Originally posted by Zkribbler
