File: Edwin Hubble with pipe. jpg | Edwin Hubble ( 1889-1953 ): discovered of the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way and galactic red shift, found that the loss in frequency — the redshift — observed in the spectra of light from other galaxies increased in proportion to a particular galaxy's distance from Earth: Hubble's law

According to informal tradition, O stars are called " blue ", B " blue-white ", A stars " white ", F stars " yellow-white ", G stars " yellow ", K stars " orange ", and M stars " red ", even though the actual star colors perceived by an observer may deviate from these colors depending on visual conditions and individual stars observed.

However, using the case of potassium as an example, it was also observed that while a dim blue light was enough to cause a current, even the strongest, brightest red light available with the technology of the time caused no current at all.

The first white dwarf discovered was in the triple star system of 40 Eridani, which contains the relatively bright main sequence star 40 Eridani A, orbited at a distance by the closer binary system of the white dwarf 40 Eridani B and the main sequence red dwarf 40 Eridani C. The pair 40 Eridani B / C was discovered by William Herschel on 31 January 1783 ;< sup >, p. 73 </ sup > it was again observed by Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve in 1825 and by Otto Wilhelm von Struve in 1851.

This reflects the fact that non-spectral purple colors are observed when red and violet light are mixed.

The cosmological principle is consistent with the observed isotropy of: ( i ) the celestial distribution of radio galaxies, which are randomly distributed across the entire sky, ( ii ) the large scale spatial distribution of galaxies, which form a randomly tangled web of clusters and voids up to around 400 megaparsecs in width, ( iii ) the isotropic distribution of observed red shift in the spectra of distant galaxies, which implies a uniform expansion of space or Hubble flow in all directions, and ( iv ) the cosmic microwave background radiation, the relic radiation released by the expansion and cooling of the early universe, which is constant in all directions to within 1 part in 100, 000.
