The human eye has two different types of cell: cones for seeing color, and rods of seeing in low light. Since most stars do not provide us much light, we mostly see them with the rod cells in our eyes, which cannot detect color. It is possible to see the color of some stars, such as the red giant Betelgeuse.

Why is matter mostly spaced?

If you mean, for example, the large space between the nucleus and the electron of an atom, one way to look at this is that there are certain forces that keep atoms, and particles, apart. However, under conditions of extreme pressure, these distance can get drastically reduced - look up some information on white dwarves and neutron stars, for more details.If you mean, for example, the large space between the nucleus and the electron of an atom, one way to look at this is that there are certain forces that keep atoms, and particles, apart.
