I never heard that before, but if you want to get very technical about it, it's true.

It all goes back to gravity. There are forces of gravity between every two specks of

mass in the Universe. The way I like to describe it is: There are a pair of forces of

gravity, one in each direction, between the lint in your pocket, and the smallest

speck of dust on the top shelf of the farthest room in the farthest house on the

farthest planet in orbit around the farthest star on the far side of the farthest

galaxy across the universe from us. I didn't say how strong the force is, and you

certainly could never measure it, but it's there.

In the same way, there are forces of gravity between your fingers and every star.

So when you move your finger, the force between it and any star becomes a little

bit stronger, or weaker, or changes direction a little bit, so the effect it has on the

star changes a little bit.

Of course, the forces of gravity always come in pairs, and the forces in a pair are

equal in both directions. So every time anything happens to any star or planet or

person, anywhere, the force on YOU changes, and the effect it has on you changes

a little bit. And just like these forces are too small for you to feel or worry about,

your effect on the stars is to small for them to feel or worry about. But it IS there.

How many stars are in matariki that cant be seen?

Matariki, the Māori New Year celebration, is associated with a cluster of stars known as the Pleiades. While seven stars are typically visible to the naked eye, there are actually more stars in the cluster that cannot be seen without the aid of a telescope. Estimates suggest that the Pleiades cluster contains around 100 to 200 stars, most of which are faint and not discernible to the unaided eye.


Will stars tesselate?

Stars do not tessellate in the traditional geometric sense because their shapes do not fit together without gaps when repeated. However, certain star shapes can be arranged in a way that approximates tessellation, especially in artistic designs or patterns. For true tessellation, the shapes must fill a plane without overlaps or gaps, which standard star shapes cannot achieve. In art and design, creative interpretations of stars can give the illusion of tessellation.


Are the stars dangerous in space?

They can be. Stars are very hot and can emit harmful amounts of radiation. At the same time, without stars there would be no life.

It is because the sun, wich is the closet star to our planet, light is more closely effecting us so we cannot see the other stars because the amount of the light from the sun.
