Astronomers have identified what may be the first genuinely green star: a white dwarf named WD J1330+6435, located roughly 326 light-years from Earth. Green is rare among stars because stellar colors rarely fall in that part of the spectrum, so the finding is drawing attention from space enthusiasts and astronomy commentators, who are sharing and debating the discovery of this unusually colored stellar remnant.
Why now: The reported discovery of a genuinely green star is rare and surprising, making it a hot topic in astronomy discussions.
