All stars twinkle in our sky because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions. This causes the star's image to change slightly in brightness and position, and thus twinkle. The "Stars" that do not twinkle are the planets in our Solar System except for Venus. Venus twinkles for it has massive clouds that move very fast that causes the twinkle to our eyes.
