Why do stars seem to twinkle? Shifting currents of air low in the atmosphere bend starlight, causing it to miss our eyes in fractions of moments. Stars are so far out in space that other orbiting objects in space block our view at certain moments. Starlight is so bright that our eyes protect us by filtering out some of the light. Starlight is light from dying stars that give off interrupted light.
