Spectral Type
In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their stellar spectrum, spectral characteristics. Electromagnetic radiation from the star is analyzed by splitting it with a Prism (optics), prism or diffraction grating into a spectrum exhibiting the Continuum (spectrum), rainbow of colors interspersed with spectral lines. Each line indicates a particular chemical element or molecule, with the line strength indicating the abundance of that element. The strengths of the different spectral lines vary mainly due to the temperature of the photosphere, although in some cases there are true abundance differences. The ''spectral class'' of a star is a short code primarily summarizing the ionization state, giving an objective measure of the photosphere's temperature. Most stars are currently classified under the Morgan–Keenan (MK) system using the letters ''O'', ''B'', ''A'', ''F'', ''G'', ''K'', and ''M'', a sequence from the hottest (''O'' type) to the coo ...

After her Championship win, she was exhibited in multiple shows across the United States. Life and career White Star was foaled on April 8, 1949 at Willow Oak Acres, Prescott, Arkansas. She was sired by Sir Maugray and out of the mare Crain's Merry Lady. Her grandsires were Wilson's Allen and Merry Boy. She was dark in color and had an odd appearance as a foal, which led her owners to name her Strange Gal. As she grew she proved to be a gray, and faded in color fairly quickly; by 1954 her haircoat was pure white in color. Trained by Percy Moss, she began competing in horse shows as a three-year-old, and winning multiple shows. In 1952 she competed in the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration for the first time and placed 5th in her age division. The next year she placed second in the mares class and was sixth out of ten horses in the World Grand Champi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue). It is the color of objects such as snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black.
