I found an interesting site that shows the Sun's color to be blueish.

This site displays color rendering based on blackbody curves.

I do not know why the "peachy pink" site varys with this result.

Naturally, I favor the blue sun site over the yellow or peachy pink sites. It also uses Fortran which I always liked (except for the careless "do loops").

Since the Sun's spectrum is so strong in blue and green, this analysis makes more sense to me.

It's possible other sites are post atmosphere "bleaching" in their color rendering.

So the quest continues!! 8) \/

Has Hubble, Cassini or others taken any "natural" or "true color" shots of G class stars?


[The report that 18 Scorpii (our supposed solar twin) was yellow-orange did not thrill me. I wonder what evidence they use to make that claim.]

If I listed other G2 stars, would anyone check them out in their scopes???
