Also, real stars are enormous balls of plasma and gas, and look nothing like ☆. I've been waiting about 19 years for an explanation from anyone what the two have in common, and still have gotten none. Maybe I should write a letter to Nature...

A picture of a bright light taken by a camera lens with a non-circular aperture will generate stars like that. In this case, the 5-pointed star is from a pentagonal aperture. It's entirely likely this symbol came from pictures of stars, as opposed to real ones.
