It's a beautiful night out...and you're wandering the streets late time, looking up at the sky you can see a gazillion twinkling lights. Aside from the "Are we alone" question that pops up in everyone's mind, do you know the difference between a star and a planet? I was looking through a kiddie telescope one time and couldn't tell the difference, but the moon was beautiful. Answer: Planets shine and stars twinkle. Happy stargazing! *Pleiades
