Image Title: Star-trails and the star colors

Image Description and Details : The color of the stars is linked to their "superficial" temperature (in quotation marks because the stars do not have surfaces, since they are not solid or liquid) - and, contrary to common sense where we associate blue with cold and red in the heat, the bluish / violet ones are the hottest, while the red ones are the coldest - The stars with peak emission in other bands of the visible spectrum have intermediate surface temperatures. Thus, exists stars with peak emission in practically the entire visible spectrum: blue, white, yellow, orange, red ...

Star-trails facilitate the perception of colors, since the stars are no longer punctual objects.
