Its energy temperature ([[Boltzmann's constant]] multiplied by its kelvin temperature) is about 4.57 eV, which falls in the [[near ultraviolet]] range. So while the star looks blue to the human eye, and is described as blue in the text, it seems like it might be more accurate to refer to it as an ultraviolet star?

Volume
Would this also be the largest star by volume (which seems to be closer to what the image shows anyway)? --Sfnhltb (talk) 14:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- Apparently not, see VY Canis Majoris. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Ultraviolet Star
Its energy temperature (Boltzmann's constant multiplied by its kelvin temperature) is about 4.57 eV, which falls in the near ultraviolet range. So while the star looks blue to the human eye, and is described as blue in the text, it seems like it might be more accurate to refer to it as an ultraviolet star?
