Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are
Oh, hey there!
Well I, I am a star
You wonder what I am?
Well I am glad you asked because
I can tell you!
Wh-- a diamond? What's a diamond?
That must be something on earth
but I am a star, not a diamond
Are you gonna stop singing so that I can tell you what I am?
So that I can answer your question?
Ha! Okay, so I have a prepared answer, and I'll ju--
Ugh
Again, with that same question
If you'd just stop singing I can answer
Okay, a star like myself is actually a giant ba--
Stop! Stop interrupting!
Listen, I don't know what a diamond is
but you must really love these diamonds and you know what? Stars don't even twinkle
Ah, I can't tell you the answer to your question
if you don't stop asking me over and over again!
Okay, finally!
Ah! I think I have my pointy stick here somewhere
Now!
[Clears throat]
Stars are actually giant balls of super-duper hot gas held together by gravity
We make our own light and heat energy, and we do this by - are you ready? -
by burning hydrogen gas into helium gas, and this is called nuclear fusion
That sounds a bit confusing, so you can learn more about that later
But, for now, did you know we are not even pointy up close?
Yep! We are just round balls. And we don't actually twinkle
you just think we do because when you look up, you see our light
and it's shining through layers and layers of the earth's atmosphere
and that atmosphere moves around, and has different tempuratures
and this makes the light kind of bounce bounce around and that light
bounce bouncing around is what you see and it makes it look like we are twinkling
Fascinating! Am I right?
What?
Wait, are you fading out the music? Already?
I have so much more to explain about me! About stars!
Uh, okay that is just rude! Why don't you just go and ask the sun what the sun is? Huh?
Actually, don't bother, because you know why?
Because I already know the answer. The sun is a star!
Asks the same question again and again Doesn't even give me a chance to answer
Blah blah blee blee blee blee blee, blee
