1a) Care to offer a general heliochromological prognostication? [You might explain why false color is indeed far superior to troublesome true color, too.]

1b) Due to solar atmospheric opacity issues, the central region of the solar disk is 1390K hotter in appearance than the limb (~6390K vs. 5000K), so would the solar disk not appear to have a slightly bluish-white center? [Assumes an astronaut is seeing the sun from space and at a light level within the normal photopic range of the eye.]

2) Will the classification of stars ever be revised significantly?
