Those are stars in the night sky. Because the earth rotates, the stars streak across the sky at night. But instead of rising and setting like the sun and the moon, the stars seem to rotate about the north star (in the northern hemispshere), which is why the north star (Polaris) is the star we use for navigation. Word.
Thanks for your insights, Bill Nye the Science Guy. Time lapse stars they are. But I am heading to MO this week so hopefully I'll return with some snow pictures, Katy!
