Wrong yellow sun depictions in scientific literature


I wonder why all these scientists reject a factual white sun & stubbornly depict the sun in space as a nonsense yellow - exactly like flat earthers. A yellow sun implies that yellow light from the sun gets split into rainbow colors, a very strange physics. This is a perfect example of mental conditioning defeating academic qualifications & experience.

Dr. Heloise Stevance - despite being an astrophysicist & an educator, she does not know the sun's correct color. This Twitter thread shows her silly justifications for the yellow sun depictions commonly seen in science illustrations. She displays the same intelligence as the flat earthers she was making fun of, in the thread.

More silly justifications from her. See thread :

17. ----------------------------

Dr. Andria Schwortz - despite being an astrophysics professor, she does not know the sun color. It is white, not yellow-white or yellow. See thread :

https://twitter.com/aschwortz/status/1430738907344343040?s=20



Got blocked by Dr. Andria Schwortz for merely saying that the sun should be a factual white in space illustrations. White sun was that unacceptable to her. It was blasphemy to her silly faith :

Title - Interstellar Probe: Humanity's exploration of the Galaxy Begins

By - Pontus Brandt et al, 2022 (23 authors) 

Double mistake : Ridiculously wrong depiction of a moving solar system & a wrong sun color too ! Bow shock implies a visual of a moving solar system. Then it should depict helical orbits + a factual white sun, not circular/elliptical orbits. These scientists are struggling with basic science.

'Astronomy' - First published in 2016, it is the most frequently used astronomy textbook in the US & is designed for 1 to 2 semester introductory astronomy courses. This book is littered with nonsense yellow sun depictions.

Andrew Fraknoi (retired professor of astronomy & lead author of the book)

David Morrison (astrophysicist at NASA)

Dr. Brad Tucker despite a PhD in astrophysics, he rejects a factual white sun & repeatedly depicts it as a nonsense yellow sun, just like flat earthers (see 6:19, 15:04, 21:30, 25:34) :

*****

All the science papers linked above are written for the scientific community. So one cannot argue that these are simplified visuals for ordinary people. A picture is worth 1000 words & these scientists are insisting, in 1000 words, that the sun looks yellow in space. Utter waste of education !


Writing 2+2=5 means weak in Math. People who know 2+2=4, will write the answer as 4. They will not write 5 & proceed to give silly justifications for it.


Similarly, depicting yellow sun in space means weak in Science. If all these "experts" know the sun's true color is white, why don't they depict it as such ? Why depict nonsense colors & then give silly justifications for it ? 


Clearly, there is a widespread science ignorance/denialism in the scientific/academic community. What went wrong ? I have never heard even 1 intelligent reason for a yellow sun in solar system visuals. Many of the common & silly justifications have been rubbished in the article below :
