Up to the yellow period the star as it contracts grows hotter and hotter. Then a gradual cool.- ing takes place. Accompanying the- chanzes. in color are changes in the spectrum ot..the star-changes that in`- : dlcate a modication in physical struc- ture. In the bluish white period of a star's infancy the characteristic wide lines of hydrogen gas predominate in the spectrum. As the color changes. the` lines of calcium; magnesium and iron appear. the hydrogen lines gradu- ally becoming thinner and `those of calcium broader. ' Color Alas the Astronomer In .
