TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>A star with a weird color - Nova Lupi 2025 (V462 Lupi)</p><p>1st photo is not annotated. Can you find the nova?</p><p>2nd photo is annotated.</p><p>3rd photo was deliberately mis-focused so that stars were larger disks instead of small points. This makes it easier to see the color.</p><p>Note that there are plenty of orange stars and plenty of blue stars...but the nova has a unique color. To my eye it's a pale purple.</p><p>Why does the nova have a weird color?</p><p>4th image was taken from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1771205990440705&amp;set=pcb.10056320127790102" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">facebook.com/photo/?fbid=17712</span><span class="invisible">05990440705&amp;set=pcb.10056320127790102</span></a> it's a spectrum of the nova. Most stars have a blackbody radiation distribution, but novae (that's the Latin form, plural) have strong emission lines at discrete colors.
