    gonfission:

    Are you aware that scientist believe the moon was PUT THERE for the benefit of Earth idiosyncrasies by Aliens?

    THANK you for straightening me out! I must have been reading some lunatic rantings.

    Or maybe the "little people" had some old aphorisms. To make matters worse, NOW he's saying that in the observable universe of two trillion galaxies and each with three hundred billion stars THERE ARE NO GREEN STARS!

    So this means that in six hundred quintillion stars; 6*10^17...

    THERE ARE NO GREEN STARS !

    and tomorrow's St Patrick's Day.

    What's this world coming to?

    HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

    Simulation Hypothesis: This theory suggests that our universe might be a simulation, similar to a video game, created by a more advanced civilization. ----- Like on here .

    So, every morning you count the dots and exponentially smooth that result via the vertical dots to determine your moves for the day?

    DuFussMcGoo:
    THERE ARE NO GREEN STARS !

    "Our eyes have light-sensitive cells in them called rods and cones. Rods are the brightness detectors and are blind to color. Our eyes have three kinds of cones that help us see color: red cones, blue cones and green cones. When light hits them, each gets triggered by a different amount; red light — say, from a strawberry — really triggers the red cone, but the blue and green cones stay rather calm.

    Most objects don't emit (or reflect) one color, so the cones are triggered by varying amounts. An orange, for example, triggers the red cones to go about twice as much as the green cones but leaves the blue ones alone. When the brain receives the signal from the three cones, it says, 'This must be an orange object.' If the green cones see just as much light as the red, with the blue ones not seeing anything, we interpret that as yellow. And so on.

    So the only way to see a star as green is for it to almost exclusively emit green light. However, stars are always producing more than one wavelength of light. Any star emitting mostly green will also be putting out lots of red and blue, making the star look white. Changing the star's temperature will make it appear slightly orange, yellow, red or blue, but you just can't get green. Our eyes simply won't see it that way.

    That's why there are no green stars. The colors emitted by stars and how our eyes see them pretty much guarantee it."

    EDIT:  I am confident Joe already knew this and, most likely, actually sees green stars (clovers too).

    Thank you Steff and Joe. I just wanted to mix green and St Patrick's Day on a forum that allows this type of content. I think I found out about no green stars 4 days ago and thought it would be neat if I said so on a special green day.

    Just like today when I had a photo of a Zeppole. 

    Why is zeppole celebrated for St Joseph's Day?Joseph fled to Egypt with Mary and Jesus, he started to sell pancakes to provide for his family, therefore, tying sweets and desserts like zeppoles to his name. The other mentions he was a saint of carpenters and craftsmen, and there was the “Carpenter's Feast,” where wooden toys were sold for children to enjoy.

    Such nice things to share on special days!
