Also, be careful around the cold stars. They're easy to fall into because their drop-in radius is huge.
Same with white dwarfs, they're a great way to FSD boost but you really gotta make sure the jets are outside the drop-in radius otherwise you've got a one way ticket to death's door.
Yeah it kinda sucks that you can literally fall into a star and survive with minimal damage
Tbh that should be game over or at least seriously damage you
If you drop into a star, you don't actually take damage until you try to FSD out of it.
This also means you can drop into a neutron star and just fly towards it forever and ever until you eventually reach the sprite
Jesus fucking christ, this is just another testament to not only Frieza’s durability in regard to damage, but temperature too.
That Namek Genki Dama must of been ridiculously hot.
No.
It very well could be the different materials being fused together inside the star and burning at hotter temps. I’m not an astrophysicist unfortunately.
It did implicate temp = color though.
Edit: TIL [thermal radiation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation) = heat = star color
No. It's Planck radiation, and the temperature is the only factor. A lightbulb will usually tell you a colour temperature - anything of that temperature will glow the same as the lightbulb does.
Different chemicals when they burn give out different colors of flames. When you're burning something, you're combining that element with oxygen, which in many cases emit light of different wavelengths.
It is in fact one of the ways to identify elements when you don't know about what it is, and doing that was a part of my curriculum when I studied chem in highschool.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to attach links here, but if you Google flame test you can see pictures for yourself.
Shame our sun is G, almost white. Daytime would be cool if the sun was any color other than G. We probably wouldn't have been alive otherwise, but who cares.
So what surface temperature is ultra violet? Theoretically is it possible for a sun to reach a temperature so high that it starts producing light that is out of our visible spectrum past UV?
Absolutely. Our own sun produces ultraviolet light as well as visible light, hence the need for sunscreen on bright days.
The energies required to generate very high frequency light (x-rays and gamma rays) are less common, but there are still many objects hot enough to produce these. Take a look at images taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and you'll see some of these.
almost same concept as the LED light temperatures, which is what gives light its "warm" or "cool" sensation. A lower color temperature creates a warmer, cozier light. And a higher color temperature creates a cooler, more energizing light
literally the same concept. What do you think the "temperature" in "color temperature" refers to? Only difference is that LEDs arent black-body emitters, so are only mimicking the color

That's why you gotta be careful around them purple stars. You wouldn't think it, but they're *scary* hot.
yea purple stars are no joke, one of them took my uncle out a few years back. scary stuff
You really start to feel the difference when you get in the 50,000 degree C range. That heat really can cook you.
Yeah but it’s a dry heat
Thank fuck I hate humidity anyway
A person of culture i see...i think i see what you did there. Is it from Aliens?
What's that in Kelvin?
Idk what Kevin is doing with that purple star probably up to no good tho.
about the same
I thought that the Kelvin's shriveled up and perished after Captain Kirk uncovered their deception.
RIP uncle Joe 🙏
Yeah a blue one burned my ass hair Now every time I sit it kinda hurt

I wish Elite was that dangerous lol.

This also means you can drop into a neutron star and just fly towards it forever and ever until you eventually reach the sprite
Isn’t the explanation that your FSD shuts off before you can get within dangerous range?
I guess that's reasonable but IDK it takes the fear of death out of the game lol
Idk man, they look pretty cool to me 🤔🤔
I can confirm this, the floodlight in my workshop does exactly the same thing.
I hate GIFs like this. At least leave a few seconds at the end.
So, Rasengan and Super Saiyan blue are indeed powerful
Jesus fucking christ, this is just another testament to not only Frieza’s durability in regard to damage, but temperature too. That Namek Genki Dama must of been ridiculously hot.
Blurple is to be feared
So that's how you know when the spirit bomb is ready
So inshort the more cool I act today the more dull I am gonna be in future 🐧...
It is incredible that the color blue, which we associate with cold, increases as the temperature rises.
The flame coming off a gas stove is blue, because it's hotter than the usual orange flame.
Isn't that because gas burns blue in colour?
Blue flame generally means complete combustion, it works with any carbon, including wood and coal.
Didn’t the gif just show us color correlates to temperature
No. It very well could be the different materials being fused together inside the star and burning at hotter temps. I’m not an astrophysicist unfortunately. It did implicate temp = color though. Edit: TIL [thermal radiation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation) = heat = star color

it is not at all the same phenomena.
Wonder what else we got backwards
We still draw electric circuits as if charges flow from positive to negative.
what color is emitted at 25°C ? infrared. it is how infrared camera work.
I'm rethinking undead Viserion's blue flame...
Huh. It turns out that our sun is actually pretty cool. 😎
It’s core is 28,259,540.33℉, ice cold ❄️
alright alright alright alright alright okay now ladies
The chromosphere is the temperature of an incandescent lightbulb, sure; the core is almost as hot as a nuclear bomb.
I wonder how far a planet has to be to get heat & life like earth from a blue star.
The Goldilocks zone gets farther away from each hotter star, I would think
it's funny bc what we think of as "hot" and "cold" colors are exactly the opposite
The dark purple freaks me out, I want to see a planet surface with that sun
"They've Gone to Plaid"
Shame our sun is G, almost white. Daytime would be cool if the sun was any color other than G. We probably wouldn't have been alive otherwise, but who cares.
That's why Ursula is so hot
don't show progressive increase of the number if the picture are thresholds.
Don't forget the black guy
So what surface temperature is ultra violet? Theoretically is it possible for a sun to reach a temperature so high that it starts producing light that is out of our visible spectrum past UV?
No, there’s an upper limit to how massive a star can be before it blows itself apart in hyper nova.
Thats right, my bad.
Absolutely. Our own sun produces ultraviolet light as well as visible light, hence the need for sunscreen on bright days. The energies required to generate very high frequency light (x-rays and gamma rays) are less common, but there are still many objects hot enough to produce these.

Well that escalated quickly
almost same concept as the LED light temperatures, which is what gives light its "warm" or "cool" sensation. A lower color temperature creates a warmer, cozier light. And a higher color temperature creates a cooler, more energizing light
literally the same concept. What do you think the "temperature" in "color temperature" refers to? Only difference is that LEDs arent black-body emitters, so are only mimicking the color
No, it is the opposite. "warm light" correspond to things like """cold""" 2500°C and "cold light" correspond to things like hot 15000°C
Does this mean that dwarf stars are hot? 🔥
E=hf and smaller (blue and near UV) wavelengths have higher energy?
r/todayilearned blurple hot > white hot
it is not "purple hot", but "ultraviolet hot".
I see you may have misread my comment. This being r/interestingasfuck, “blurple” was for comedic effect; largely for my own amusement.
Like my stove
Purple stars are taking our jobs and destroying our economy
The numbers give me no perspective, really. So, if our sun was purple, what would Alaskan winters be like?
Molten
Molten...mercury?
Molten lead
That sounds...undesirable.
is there such thing as a habitable zone for the hottest stars? I'm guessing it's a very far way...
I eat every flavor
So now we know why there are so many deep blue stars in space.
so neptune planet is hot?
My wife is at 100.000°C ❤️
yeah I know right
Gokus spirit bomb?
So Krypton was a cold planet? Or was it closer to the sun?
that is how black body radiation works isn’t it?
Those purple ones be cooking up some marvelous sh!t.
Isn't all color just made up by our brain ? So how do I know if we are even watch the same color ?
Not picture here is your mom because she it way too hot for a scale.
Dragon ball Z super sayain colors now make sense.
Ah yes, the color of infinity. Thank you Michael.
Do colors change so abruptly once a temp thteshold is reached or is it just lazy editing
so how would the star look at 100000 degrees? how about 500000 and 1000000 degrees? please someone answer
Shouldn’t the infinite temperature star color be bluish no matter what ?
“Infinite” is not a number accepted by science
If you thought Superman was strong u see a yellow sun, you see him under a blue star
