Some are red, others are yellow and some are even blue. This is also shown when we photograph part of the night sky in color. You can take such a photograph with an ordinary camera so long as it is kept steady. A 30-second exposure is sufficient. Astronomers have been able to classify stars according to color. They have found that blue stars are the largest and red stars the smallest. However, there are a few stars which cannot be classified in this way. These are the super stars. For example, Rigel is a super blue star as big as 40,000 suns Betelgeuse is a super red star with a size equal to 17,000 suns. Suppose an astronomer observes two stars, one brighter than the other. If neither of them is a super star, he will know immediately that the brighter star is closer. Astronomers have instruments like lightmeters which can measure the brightness of a star quite accurately. Once they know the color, the brightness, and whether or not it is a super star, it is possible to measure its distance from the earth. Which of the following kinds of colored stars is not menti0oned? A. Blue stars B. Red stars C. Green stars D. Yellow stars 2.
