Title : Awesome Astronomy 101: Why Are Stars Different Colors?

Organization: Awesome Astronomy

Link : www.awesomeastronomy.com

Description:

The first in a series of three Astronomy 101 videos from this spring’s AstroCamp where Dr. Jen is explaining some basics of astronomy.

In this first video, we’re taking a look at the colour of stars and why stars appear the colours they do. She’ll also explain how the mass of a star is related to its temperature, what happens to expanding dying stars and why we don’t see any green or purple stars.
