More About scintillation
Scintillation has been around for a long time. People first saw it in stars. They thought it was magic! Now, we know it is just light. It helps us learn about space.
In our lives, we see scintillation all the time. When we look at lights, they can sparkle. This makes things look pretty. It can also help us see better at night.
