    I think the horror would suggest they aren’t stars at all, and the unmoved telescope plays into that

      Could have been air whistling through furnace ducts. I’ve heard sounds like that which were only audible from one exact point in a room.

          I know, it’s in cosmic horror, but it’s like figuring out an explanation for technobabble on Star Trek.

            Yeah but we are on a cosmic horror comm.

            So it’s much more reasonable in this context to playfully brainstorm some eldritch mechanism by which the telescope is peering beyond the veil, and the “screaming stars” are not classical celestial objects in any way.

            Or I guess just vent noise, that’s great cosmic horror 🙄
