Excellent.
Stars twinkle because they are essentially one dimensional objects from our perspective - no matter how much magnification a telescope has, a star still appears to be a single point. Planets are two dimensional objects and even with binoculars planets like Jupiter appear to be a disk.
This is the reason, the explanation involves the way light is refracted and other shit I don't want to explain because I'd have to look it up and learn a bunch of new crap first.

Any of you guys ever been out somewhere remote (I mean like hundreds of miles from a major city) and seen the stars? Where it's like layers of them? Shit blew my mind the first time I saw it. A friend and I were camping in the Tetons. Looked like this.

Oh man it's something else. I heard that on a clear night out in the mountains or the desert, or freaking Alaska or some shit that it was like that, but being someone who has lived in cities his entire life I really had no idea.
That friend and I took a trip out to the Tetons and we had no idea to expect something like that. So there we were, on a first night out there, smoking out and drinking and then the sun went down. And then that. I mean it looked like galaxies. Idk man it was so thick, like layers on top of layers of stars. We sat there looking up for hours like we had just opened our eyes for the first time.
But anyway, the aurora lights...one day i gotta see that shit. Tripping, too.

It is a galaxy. It's one arm of the Milky Way. It's called Orion.

Uluru. About as far from civilization as you can get. (Two hour flight from the nearest city big enough to have commercial flights to Uluru )

Well I know we're part of a solar system, that's part of a galaxy. Which makes what we look at in the sky at night a part of a galaxy. What I was saying is that the stars were so vast & thick that it felt like I was looking at galaxies. Plural. I realize that that's not actually the case but it felt like it.

They don't twinkle because they don't have a source of radiation; planets simply reflect the light from the observable universe. There is an uncountable number of planets we CANT SEE 
But technology is challenging that obstacle.
If we can locate black holes through the innovation of plotting points over time and determining the shift in gravity, I bet we can find those hidden gems of planets.

Sometimes I wonder if our universe orbits something BIGGER....the initial bang can only spread out so far, yet it is still contained within our laws of physics. What if there are higher order physical laws that contain UNIVERSES?
Leads me to think that our universe is a system relative to the surrounding multiverse. We may never answer these questions, since the 11000 years of mental development of humanity. We can always assume, though...we can always dream.

I'm going to be out in the desert for a couple nights soon at a music fest. That's one of the things I'm really looking forward to is the night sky.

That is a really cool thought that i have never heard before. Anytime i pictured a multiverse in my head i think of it as pretty static for some reason.

Planets can be discovered by measuring their pull on the star they orbit. They make the star wobble.

Little OT, but astronomers have announced a discovery of a "rogue planet", that isn't orbiting a star:

Quote:
PSO J318.5-22 was discovered during a search for the failed stars known as brown dwarfs. Due to their relatively cool temperatures, brown dwarfs are very faint and have very red colors. To circumvent these difficulties, Liu and his colleagues have been mining the data from the PS1 telescope. PS1 is scanning the sky every night with a camera sensitive enough to detect the faint heat signatures of brown dwarfs. PSO J318.5-22 stood out as an oddball, redder than even the reddest known brown dwarfs.
