title: Animate Multiple Elements at Variable Rates

## Description
<section id='description'>
In the previous challenge, you changed the animation rates for two similarly animated elements by altering their <code>@keyframes</code> rules. You can achieve the same goal by manipulating the <code>animation-duration</code> of multiple elements.
In the animation running in the code editor, there are three "stars" in the sky that twinkle at the same rate on a continuous loop. To make them twinkle at different rates, you can set the <code>animation-duration</code> property to different values for each element.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Set the <code>animation-duration</code> of the elements with the classes <code>star-1</code>, <code>star-2</code>, and <code>star-3</code> to 1s, 0.9s, and 1.1s, respectively.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The <code>animation-duration</code> property for the star with class <code>star-1</code> should remain at 1s.
    testString: assert($('.star-1').css('animation-duration') == '1s');
  - text: The <code>animation-duration</code> property for the star with class <code>star-2</code> should be 0.9s.
    testString: assert($('.star-2').css('animation-duration') == '0.9s');
  - text: The <code>animation-duration</code> property for the star with class <code>star-3</code> should be 1.1s.
    testString: assert($('.star-3').css('animation-duration') == '1.1s');
