The stars are not fixed, but are constantly moving. If you factor out the daily arcing motion of the stars across the sky due to the earth’s rotation, you end up with a pattern of stars that seems to never change. But sensitive instruments can detect their movement.
Why do I see a star moving?
You’re absolutely right that stars twinkle — and sometimes appear to move around — due to our atmosphere “scrambling” their light as it travels from the top of Earth’s atmosphere to the ground. This phenomenon, also called scintillation, tends to occur more obviously in bright stars.
Why is a star moving?
Why is the star moving? Simply put, it’s because of gravity — because they are moving around the center of their galaxy, for example. Gravity makes every object in space move. But as most stars are far away from us and space is so big, that proper motion is very small in a human lifetime.
Why can I see a star moving?
These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.

How fast does a star move?
The speed a star moves is typically about 0.1 arc second per year. This is almost imperceptible, but over the course of 2000 years, for example, a typical star would have moved across the sky by about half a degree, or the width of the Moon in the sky.

Note: The video is not shown. It doesn’t show the star-like objects. The objects are likely Star-Link communication satellites and they are difficult to detect as they are not real bright. Note to Commenters: If you are reporting a sighting, be sure to include the location (city, state, country), date and time of your sighting.

Are there stars that move in straight lines?
There were three of them! They were circling, moving in straight lines, turning to the left or right and circling again. I do hope someone else has seen them, or that some of the big telescopes may have caught them.
