⭐ NEW: Astronomers at the University of #Warwick modeled the visible colors of white dwarf #stars, whose dense #atmospheres let trace #elements absorb light in ways temperature alone can't explain.
They identified the first star that appears green to the human eye, a deep salmon-pink #whitedwarf, and an estimate that roughly 1 in 30 shine in unusual #colors.

A few people have posted this bit of news since @NickT6630 alerted us to it yesterday.
I only wanted to back up what has been said, and add that it is, indeed, a serious historical find for ZX Spectrum culture, and an amazing, very serious job of restoration taken up by Happy Little Diodes.
They should be commended for recognising the importance of their find, and the standards they applied to the restoration and digitalisation work.
Applause! 👏
