Why stars twinkle
While out star gazing these at times will appear to be twinkling. Movements of the atmosphere air (turbulence) slightly deflect the light beam on its way to the stargazer’s eye. It then looks as if stars were twinkling or flickering.
While twinkling can be perceived as romantic, astronomers and scientists actually aim to get an undistorted, untainted view of the celestial objects. Installing ground telescopes in a high location reduces distortions (twinkling). But only space telescopes really solve the problem. These are placed outside the earth’s atmosphere at around 500+km. Webb & Hubble are well-known examples of space telescopes but actually more than 70 have been placed in space since 1970 by NASA and ESA alone. 26 of these remain active today.
How Matataki twinkles
Twinkling is made possible by adding a second disc, the effect plate, under a special star disc. Next, you turn on the diurnal* motion (rotation) function. After starting the projection your eyes and mind will relax and focus. After a short time, you will see the realistic twinkling effect as if you are watching the stars in the universe from planet Earth. This effect gives the projection more depth (3D).
Diurnal motion is the daily motion of stars and other celestial bodies across the sky.
