- grzm 6y agoAgain, yes. Particularly in clusters, I can detect differences in the colors of stars.
- tmp538394722 6y agoWow - sounds like you have more sensitive than average color perception. Do you think you might be a tetrachromat?
- grzm 6y agoNope. It probably helps to live away from cities and such, in that there's a lot of stars visible at night. And it's not like looking at a rainbow: they're tints, not intense color differences. 'endogui linked to an article that talks about this: I don't think it's all that unusual. https://earthsky.org/?p=2875 https://earthsky.org/?p=2875
