| Jun 6 at 16:43 | comment | added | user325452 | This might interest the op: it is at least tangentially related and I found it informative. It has to do with how are eyes perceive color in the case of stars apparently (along with the typical emission spectra of stars. Stars tend to emit enough blue and red light alongside green that they appear white when registered by our RGB cones). discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/… | |
