"Gone were the obscuring masses of dust and gas. A billion years ago they must have been swept up for fuel by the hungry, crowded stars.
_______ lay before me like a great jeweled sphere. I'd expected it to be a gradual thing,....there was nothing gradual about it.....The red stars were the biggest and brightest. I could actually pick some of them out as individuals. The rest was a finger painting in flourescent green and blue....It was all so bright.
I'll show you how bright it was.
Is it night where you are? Step outside and look at the stars. What color are they? Antares may show red, if you're near enough; in the system, so will Mars. Sirius may show blueish. But all the rest are white pinpoints.
Why? Because it's dark. Your day-vision is in color, but at night you see in black-and-white, like a dog.
______ suns were bright enough for color vision."
