Stars do not "strobe" at all. Stars can, however, appear to twinkle and the result may be that they do appear different colors at different times.

There's a really great picture comparing a star to the planet Mars at the link in the related links section that shows this extremely well, and even explains why.

Do stars look different in other countries?

No, stars appear the same regardless of the country you are in. The appearance of stars is determined by factors such as the atmosphere and light pollution, but these factors are not specific to any one country.


What color are the protons in carbon?

Things like atoms and sub atomic particles are far too small to have colour. We perceive colours from the scattering and absorption of light. The different light frequencies give us different colours. Protons are far, far smaller than any visible light wavelengths, so they can't really be said to have any colour at all.


What are primary colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.


Which colors are the only colors that can not be mixed using any other colors?

Red, yellow and blue are the only colours that can not be mixed using any other colours. These are the primary colours any pretty much every other colour can be mixed from these three colours. However, you may count black and white as unmixable from any other colours, but personally I do not count them as colours- just tones. This is for each person to decide for themselves.


How does the tilt of the axis cause us to see different constellations in different seasons?

No, but the fact that the Earth orbits the Sun does do that. Because of the way sunlight ins scattered through our atmosphere (and because the Sun is incredibly bright), we cannot see stars that appear near the Sun in the sky; the Sun has to go below the horizon for any stars to be visible. Stars that are near the Sun in the sky are not visible. So as the Earth goes around the Sun, a different set of stars appear to be "behind" the Sun, near it in the sky, each season.
