The following is a list of stars with resolved images, that is, stars whose images have been resolved beyond a point source. Aside from the Sun , observed from Earth , stars are exceedingly small in apparent size, requiring the use of special high-resolution equipment and techniques to image.
The following is a list of particularly notable actual or hypothetical stars that have their own articles in Wikipedia, but are not included in the lists above. BPM 37093 — a diamond star Cygnus X-1 — X-ray source
Aries has its share of variable stars, including R and U Arietis, Mira-type variable stars, and T Arietis, a semi-regular variable star. R Arietis is a Mira variable star that ranges in magnitude from a minimum of 13.7 to a maximum of 7.4 with a period of 186.8 days. [29] It is 4,080 light-years away. [44]
The color of a star, as determined by the most intense frequency of the visible light, depends on the temperature of the star's outer layers, including its photosphere. [176] Besides visible light, stars emit forms of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the human eye .
The white color is due to the star having a higher temperature than the Sun. The absorption lines in the spectrum of Canopus shift slightly with a period of 6.9 d . This was first detected in 1906 and the Doppler variations were interpreted as orbital motion. [ 58 ]

Then: Whoopi Goldberg. Celie is the heart of The Color Purple, and Goldberg’s portrayal of her in the 1985 film was devastating and revelatory. In 1985, the actress and comedian told the late ...
Main-sequence stars vary in surface temperature from approximately 2,000 to 50,000 K, whereas more-evolved stars – in particular, newly-formed white dwarfs – can have surface temperatures above 100,000 K. [3] Physically, the classes indicate the temperature of the star's atmosphere and are normally listed from hottest to coldest.
