Astronomers have identified what they describe as the first white dwarf star that would appear green to human eyes. The identification is based on analysis of the star’s spectral data and atmospheric composition, according to the information provided about the finding.
The reported result concerns how the star would appear to human observers; the available account does not say that researchers directly observed it as green. It also does not provide the star’s name, its location, the date of the discovery or the identities of the researchers involved.
The finding emerged from research into white dwarf stars. No further details were provided about the data, the techniques used to analyze it or how the researchers determined the star’s apparent color. The account also does not identify a scientific publication or describe whether other researchers have reviewed the analysis.
