  • So we have made it through the dark ages, and are now a few hundred million years into the lifetime of the universe. There are plenty of stars all over the place, but are they all the same? How can we classify stars? Let's go through the basics of the Harvard System, and then take a look at something called a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

    And that's it! Eight and a half seconds and the topic starts, no gibberish, no ads, no clickbaiting, no silly long intro song, no minutes-long introduction of who you are, and no waiting for what the video is about in the first place.

    Some of the coldest red dwarfs are not even M type, but rather L type, which is usually a classification used for brown dwarfs. These L-Type red dwarfs are around 2,500-3,200K. They are also very small and very loosely held together. They are barely even stars at all, and are around 0.08-0.22 Solar Masses.

    Spectral Class F -> White *
    Spectral Class G -> Yellow
    Spectral Class K -> Orange † -> Ideal star type for life as we know it.

      "Yellow dwarf" is just a misnomer
      G-stars are in fact white in visible light. They actually peak in green by the way. The sun only appears yellow in filtered images or due to atmospheric scattering of blue light.
      They are often associated with yellow to differentiate them from A and F type stars as well as white dwarfs
