It is not advisable to place a star directly on your eyeball, as their surface temperatures are several thousands of degrees. (They're also quite large). However, I can't think of any valid reason not to look directly at any star you want to other than the Sun.
The bright twinkling star you see is likely Venus, often referred to as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star" due to its brightness and visibility around dawn or dusk. Its apparent movement across the sky can give the impression that it's following you as you move. Other bright stars, like Sirius or Jupiter, could also fit this description, depending on the time of year and your location.
No, because sometimes planes, helicopters, or far off planets look like stars but aren't.
Stars appear to "sparkle" at night due to atmospheric turbulence. When starlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, it is refracted or bent by the varying densities of air, causing the light to change direction slightly. This bending of light creates the twinkling effect we see from the ground. The more turbulent the atmosphere, the more pronounced the twinkling or sparking of stars will be.
Oh, what a lovely thought! That twinkling star is just one of many shining diamonds in the sky, adding beauty to our world. It's there to remind us of how magical the universe and life truly are. So let's sit back, appreciate its tiny sparkle, and let it fill our hearts with wonder and gratitude.
When you see the moon directly in front of some star tonight, start your clock.You'll see the moon directly in front of that same star again after approximately [ 27days 7hours 41minutes ].
Stars twinkle because of the Earth's atmosphere. As the light from a star passes through the various layers of the atmosphere, it gets refracted or bent, causing the star's brightness to fluctuate slightly. This bending of light is what creates the twinkling effect that we see from Earth.
The North Star is almost directly over the north pole, so it cannot be seen south of the equator.
The atmosphere is way too bright. - However, you can see bright stars, or planets, if you know exactly where to look. I have often seen planet Venus during the daytime, even at noon. However, the sun is a star, so one star is easy to see in the daytime (not directly!).
As light passes through the earth's atmosphere turbulence and density variations slightly deflect its path in a random manner. The light of a star is such a tiny beam as it enters our eye that we perceive this random jiggling and brightness variations as "twinkling". The light of a planet, the moon, or the sun is a much bigger beam as it enters our eye and the random jiggling and brightness variations average out and we see no "twinkling".
In this sentence, "twinkling" is used as an adjective, and "brightly" is an adverb. These are very important considerations in the field of Astronomy.
i would describe it by saying it is shiny ,but the info u really need would be that every star u see is a planet. Ans.2: It is a bright, apparently twinkling, object in the night sky. But STARS ARE NOT PLANETS - don't be misled!
you can see venus, it looks like a bright star, but you cannot see any detail
