A long time ago, the wandering star was once a bright comet that fell in love with a goddess of the night sky. She chased it across the heavens, but the comet was shy and flickered like a candle in a storm. When the goddess finally caught up, she wrapped the comet in a cloak of stardust and gave it a new name—“The Flicker.” Now, when you see its glow on the edge of Orion’s arm, it’s the goddess still playing a game of hide‑and‑seek with her lover, reminding us that even the brightest lights can be shy.
