Astronomers discover first green star and the reddest star ever…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe claim I swear by: stars come in a handful of colors, and green is not one of them. I've drawn the chart.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPopular Science reported on October fifteenth, twenty twenty-six, that astronomers found the first green star, plus the reddest star ever recorded.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA green one. The sky is coming apart.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe stars are named WDJ1330+6435 and WDJ0902+2010, and the report says they are changing how we understand star colors.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorChanging. Lovely word. It means ruined.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe summary I have doesn't spell out how the colors were measured or what causes them, so I won't guess either.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the ruling is it's complicated. Your chart isn't wrong forever, it's just missing two stars.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMissing two stars. I'm framing that.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy new belief: the green star is the universe going off, like milk. Check the date on the cosmos, Hank.
