Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.
It's Sirius, the dog star, alpha canis majoris.
It is the brightest star in the sky, and is 8.6 lightyears from earth.
Here's some text from "exploring the night sky with binoculars" by Patrick Moore, a book I've had for 23 years now.

Sirius is pure white, with an A-type spectrum. When low down it seems to flash various colours, because its light is coming to us through a thick layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Even when it is near the zenith, as it can of course be from the southern hemisphere, it still twinkles quite noticeably.

I hope this has answered any questions you had.

hah, thats funny, i was looking at jupiter in my 4in telescope last night and saw that same star blinking, and got video of it, look exactly like that. white red blue.

u check out jupiter and uranus at all? they are very visible right now. u can even see the moons of jupiter. makes you feel so small and insignificant.

They were probably having a jam down at Saturn.
