Star Colorful
Why are pictures of the night sky in magazines so colourful?
For eg... the Hubble space telescope has taken so many colourful pictures.... nebulars and star clusters so colourful... reb, blue, etc..
But how come when I look at the night sky i only see white starts?
If I look through a powerful scope will i see a coloured sky?
OR are these colours X-rays and UV that we humans cant see?
The objects being photographed just don't produce enough light to register on the colour sensitive cells in your retina, so you will never see a colourful nebula. Through a telescope you can see colour in some stars (Albireo is a beautiful examples of a blue and red binary star system, and the colour is very distinct).
The photographs have the advantage over your eyes that they can collect light on the same piece of film for seconds, minutes or even hours, which means they can pick out the colours very well.
