The bell curve of astronomical knowledge is a thing of beauty! On the left, we have the blissfully simple "sun is yellow because it looks yellow" crowd—technically correct but missing the cosmic nuance. On the right, the astrophysics enthusiast correctly identifying our star as a G-class yellow dwarf (G2V to be precise). But the intellectual peak? That panicking genius having an existential crisis because they've realized the sun actually emits ALL wavelengths of visible light (which combines to appear white when viewed from space). The sun only appears yellow from Earth because our atmosphere scatters blue light! It's the perfect representation of how sometimes knowing TOO much science can ruin your day.
