The first green star: WD J1330+6435

Trace elements in orbiting gas and rock shift white dwarf WD J1330+6435 green, the first green star seen.

Trace elements pulled from the gas and rocks orbiting WD J1330+6435 shift the white dwarf's normally white color into the green. But it is far too faint to see tonight, per NASA's October 22 APOD (https://science.nasa.gov/image-article/apod-2026-october-22-the-first-green-star-wd-j13306435/).
