I always feel like stuff about stars should be in the past tense because of the whole speed of light thing. . . oh well.

Then it would be:

Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you were. . .

Well, technically, the present tense still works, since what you are seeing IS what it was, and if you have a spectrometer handy there's no need to wonder about it.
