After knowing the answer is beige, it's not actually surprising after looking at the spectrum. The spectrum they show is mostly flat so you don't expect one color to dominate much over another (maybe a bit more red than blue..).

Red actually has a larger wavelength. Red is at ~600 nm, while green and blue are at ~500nm and ~400nm respectively. Red has a lower frequency though.

Looks like the H-alpha emisison line at 656 nm. It's a pretty strong line in many astrophysical sources.

If you mean subtracting out all the stars in our entire galaxy, then the night sky would get a lot dimmer. We'd only see the starlight from distant galaxies and the planets of our own solar system. If you mean just the streak across th

It's easy to see a few nearby bright stars, but it's hard to see all those dim stars that make up the distinctive structure of the Milky Way.

Not only that, but if you change the permittivity and permeability to that of any material, you get the speed of light in that material. And for all this to happen, you get the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave from Maxwell's
