I was hoping to use star fragments as outdoor decorations in a certain part of my island. Does anyone know if they despawn after a certain length of time, or will they remain in place until picked up? Thank you!

I'd like to know the same thing, also: do they count as "clutter" in my island evaluation?
Wait you can craft lights using star fragments?I have a star-gazing area that has star fragments and they have not disappeared for me, I also recently got a 5-star town status so it doesn't look like it affects that either. I think it works similar to the seashells in that they don’t affect ratings when dropped as they spawn on the floor just like the fragments do.
@Jesteroo I have the recipe for the Nova light -- if you have the materials (5 star frags) I would be happy to make it for you. :- )
