Twinkling is the term for changes in the apparent brightness and position of stars; this is caused by atmospheric turbulence and various other irregularities. In photographs, twinkling causes an image to be "smeared" into a "seeing disk". The effects of twinkling can be, partially, corrected for by active and adaptive optics. Twinkling is the subject of the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (1761).Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Twinkling."
