Why do the new stars look pink? Is it the dust from the residual accretion disks that does this?

It has also helped hatch another novelty.... a textbook from a blog.

"The inspiration for Barrado y Navascués' textbook came from his one-year-old astronomical reference blog, Cuaderno de Bitacora Estelar. The blog is one of the most widely read astronomy blogs in Spanish, with a large audience in Europe, South America, and United States. He decided to turn his blog into a textbook a few months ago when a Spanish editorial company asked him to. "
