      Astronomers discover green star 280 light-years away; what makes it glow green

      Astronomers have discovered an intriguing white dwarf star designated WD J1330+6435, nestled within the Draco constellation. Its striking green hue arises from the interaction of sodium and helium particles in its atmosphere. This celestial body lies about 280 light-years from Earth, presenting itself as it was 280 years ago. With a surface temperature nearing 4,000 degrees Celsius, its dimensions are comparable to that of our planet.

      Boris Gänsicke, an astrophysicist at the University of Warwick in England whose team identified the first documented green star, said color variations among white dwarfs due to atmospheric differences are "very similar to the mixing of colors in the palette of a painter."

      Astronomové poprvé objevili zelenou hvězdu

      Vesmír je zřejmě barevnější, než jsme si dosud mysleli. Britští astronomové objevili první známou hvězdu, která by při pohledu zblízka zářila zeleně. Za nezvyklým zbarvením stojí pozůstatky dávného planetárního systému a specifické podmínky v atmosféře vyhaslé hvězdy. Vědci navíc zjistili, že podobné objekty mohou svítit též růžově nebo fialově.
