"The color is quite close to the standard shade of pale turquoise," said Karl Glazebrook, who with colleague Ivan Baldry presented the findings to the American Astronomical Society this week.
Glazebrook and Baldry joke about pitching t-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with "the true color of the universe." But their research stems from rather sober investigations into theories about the history and future of stars.
The hue, however, reflects the preponderance of the most common kinds of stars, old red ones and young blue ones.
The History of the Institute (1010 words)
