Astronomers discover first green star: white dwarf WD J1330+6435 in Draco

Astronomers have identified the first known green star, a white dwarf named WD J1330+6435, located 280 light-years away in Draco. Its unusual yellowish-green hue likely results from accretion of rocky debris from its former planetary system. This is a novel astronomical finding, but its broader significance is limited to stellar evolution and planetary system studies.
