It appears as though these star emoji represent a countdown. @PokemonGoApp tweeted an updated image every 24 hours since then, with yesterday's image clearly displaying an outline of Jirachi in the sky. Each subsequent tweet had one less star emoji, seemingly representing a countdown. Jirachi is a Pokemon commonly associated with stars.
