Explanation: What color is the universe? More precisely, if the entire sky were smeared out, what color would the final mix be? This whimsical question came up when trying to determine what stars are commonplace in nearby galaxies. The answer, depicted here, is a conditionally perceived shade of beige. In computer parlance: #FFF8E7. To determine this, astronomers computationally averaged the light emitted by one of the larger samples of galaxies analyzed: the 200,000 galaxies of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The resulting cosmic spectrum has some emission in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a single perceived composite color. This color has become much less blue over the past 10 billion years, indicating that redder stars are becoming more prevalent. In a contest to better name the color, notable entries included skyvory, univeige, and the winner: cosmic latte.
说明:宇宙是什么颜色？更准确地说，如果整个天空都被涂抹掉，最终的混合色会是什么颜色？这个异想天开的问题是在试图确定附近星系中常见的恒星时出现的。这里描述的答案是有条件感知的米色。用计算机的说法:#FFF8E7。为了确定这一点，天文学家计算了一个较大的星系样本发出的光的平均值:2dF星系红移调查的20万个星系。由此产生的宇宙光谱在电磁波谱的所有部分都有一些发射，但只有一种可感知的合成色。在过去的100亿年里，这种颜色变得不那么蓝了，这表明更红的恒星越来越普遍。在一场更好地命名颜色的比赛中，著名的参赛作品包括skyvory、univeige和获胜者:宇宙拿铁。
