Why does this not work if you don't set the transform: scale(1); in the grow keyframes?

I almost got this right, from Guil's solution, I did not include the transform: scale(1); on the @keyframes grow. When these are removed the stars will jump about.

What I don't understand is why this needs to be initialised? wouldn't it take its scale directly from the star object?

I don't think it's necessary to set the scale to 1, but that setting also cancels out any other transforms (such as translate) that might otherwise be in effect.
