 The Colour Of Stars When starting out in star gazing, you will notice that instead of just seeing white coloured stars like you might have always assumed was the case, a closer examination will reveal many other different coloured stars too, like blue, yellow, orange and red jewels shining through in the dark. This in turn reveals intricate details about the nature of each of those individual suns.
 As your knowledge grows, you might then consider investing in a piece of optical equipment in order to enjoy more detailed views. A good size binocular or telescope will easily allow the Moon, planets, delicate star clusters, bright galaxies, nebulae, and many other deep space objects to be seen. So settle back and enjoy the view, after all it's the oldest show on Earth.
