We're in a dingy 30s ex-council flat in a run-down neighbourhood, but it is at least on the edge of town and close to hills and woods. I saw a badger meandering along the street once. He must have been lost, because I've never seen another here.



Hmm, I guess that may have been what they were up to, spring around the corner and all. We see a few bats in the summer as well.

If the Sun really is white but the yellowish tint we see is because of Earth's atmosphere and the refraction of light making up the colour spectrum, why is it we're constantly lied to about its actual colour?

Are we lied to though? I thought Sol was classified as a Yellow Dwarf. Interestingly I do wonder what spectrum of light we’d see as “visible” had our eyes evolved in another star system. Aliens coming here could see our ideas of colour schemes and think we’re all 1970s throwbacks.

That's why I'm asking for input. I've heard about theories where space has a very limited colour spectrum because it doesn't refract light the same way Earth does, so it begs the question of how much colour space actually has, and if what is observable from Earth is what we are actually seeing.

That's actually a very interesting question. I wonder what color spectrum a new generation of people will see on Mars, if we ever make it there.

I think it probably has quite a bit of colour. Things like red and blue shifts mean that stars will appear to us as having different hues, plus of course they do have different colours due to their gas makeup. Amazingly though we’d probably only see it if we’re sitting in one of those tiny cones of shadow that sit on the opposite side of any sizeable object to its local sun. That’s another thing that messes with your head when you think about space. It’s nearly always daytime. Each planet carries around its own tiny cone of night. Outside of that you’ll probably just see the sky as pure black due to the sunlight drowning everything else out. No stars. Just the Sun and brighter bodies such as planets and nearby moons.
