I walked past my window just now, saw a star, and noted it was twinkling. Cool! Then I stopped….hold on, it’s REALLY TWINKLING. I stared at it and swore I could see it flashing colors. Suspicious, I went to find my binoculars, thinking this must be a drone someone has parked up high. Nope, it IS a star! It’s Sirius! And apparently it does this! Refraction can split starlight into the colors of the rainbow, and Sirius is so bright that it appears to flash a rainbow. WOW! It’s beautiful! 🌈
