Twinkle, twinkle little starHow 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
As I grew up, this nursery rhyme has kept me wondering about those stellar stars. And on countless cloudless and moonless nights, I would look up to the heavens to marvel at their beauty. Gee, they really are beautiful!
I studied in a Science High School and we`ve got lots of science subjects that we study - biology, chemistry, physics, botany, anatomy, computer  science - all those "geek" stuff. (But of course, I am no geek. I just got lucky to be admitted! :D) It was during one of those classes when I got the answer... I will not go into further detail about what stars really are, what makes them twinkle, etc. But one thing`s for sure: I know now what those stars are made of - Hydrogen. And here`s my "grown -up" version of that popular ryhme:
Twinkle, twinkle little starI don`t wonder what you are
For by the microscopic ken
I know that you are hydrogen
Twinkle, twinkle little star
I don`t wonder what you are
