Star actually have colors - eviltoast

While camping, I noticed that if you look long enough at almost any star, you start seeing some tiny, subtle colors in that star. Even crazier, they sometimes flicker between more colors. In my case orange, blue and something like cyan.

Besides constellations, what else could you observe regarding starts, with the naked eye?

    You can also see planets with your eyes, but I think that’s just Venus (which is reflective enough to see) they look like stars but move day to day.

    Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars can be seen clearly from the Northern hemisphere if you’ve got fairly clear skies too :)
