Fun fact! Brow dwarf stars are stars that… aren’t… really… stars… yeah. Basically, they aren't massive enough to perform nuclear fusion and have a surface temperature of 1000K (Kelvin) or less. That temperature would still kill you but it’s pretty cold when comparing it to actual stars.
Fun fact 2! Our own sun actually peaks in green! But as this episode has shown you… will appear white due to the other colours also emitted by the sun. (The sun emits all wavelengths of light from radio waves to gamma rays.)
Fun fact 3! The sun appears yellow to us earthlings because of how its light scatters in the atmosphere. That’s also why the sky’s blue. (WOW this was a sciency episode!)
It was dark for a very long time. An extremely long time. A time so long one may even wonder if time still exists at all. That was until the universe was made a new and millions of colours filled the void. Warmth, light, activity. Finally, the darkness had company. But will it last this time?
