There are no green stars because the ‘black-body spectrum’ of stars, which describes the amount of light at each wavelength and depends on temperature, doesn’t produce the same spectrum of colours as, for example, a rainbow.
4 mar 2024 · Why are there no green stars? Because of the way our eyes see combinations of frequencies of light, green can never dominate the color of a star. By Astronomy Staff | Published: March 4, 2024
11 sty 2021 · Modern ‘green pea’ galaxies have their doubly-ionized oxygen emission offset from the main galaxy; in the Subaru Deep Field, the galaxies themselves have been seen exhibiting the strong ...
4 sty 2021 · Green might not be the color of stars, but it is a color clearly present in and around many galaxies.
21 lip 2006 · No stars are as colorful as, for instance, traffic lights. The stars with the palest colors are those that, like our Sun, peak in the green. That's because these "green" stars also emit lots of red and blue light. The light combines so it appears white to our eyes.
8 kwi 2022 · Stars of medium heat mostly emit green photons, but they don't appear green. The curve of their light chart peaks at the green wavelength, which falls in the middle of the color...
4 mar 2024 · Because of the way our eyes see combinations of frequencies of light, green can never dominate the color of a star. The double star Albireo in Cygnus shows off beautiful contrasting colors of orange and blue, which also reveal the stars’ differing temperatures.
