Andromeda is coming closer to us every second. In a billion years or so it may not hold that record anymore, but the night sky might be spectacular.
Edit: Make that 4 billion years[^].

in the early days there was only hydrogen, colorless
a while later some of that blobbed together to make stars (and helium, sadly also colorless)
giving us white where there was a star, and black where there wasn't.
quite a long while later some stars got too heavy and blobbed hydrogen in different ways, for the first time demonstrating other colors.
so yes relatively speaking, color is quite recent.
(actual evidence seen on TV it was was around the late 1950's.)

I wonder how they played pool before colour was invented...

Not quite correct.
Stars are (to a first approximation) Black Bodies in the thermodynamics sense. This means that their peak radiation output depends on their surface temperature, which in turn depends on their mass. Small stars (less than 0.1 Solar masses) are red dwarfs, up to massive (10 or more Solar masses) blue-white stars.
The dark lines in the spectrum do indicate atomic composition, and these can be used to classify stars as "population I", "population II", etc., with older stars containing fewer complex elements.

Is hard-coding when you are really struggling with some difficult code?

I thought that was when you were developing a Pr0n site?

You should do heart-coding
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

Isn't that what incompetent cardiologists do?

For pacemakers?

I do hardly-coding

So how else do you do it then? Wear some feathers on your head and dance around the computer while chanting and beating a drum?

I see what you did there!
Nice one ... If it's not solved, I'll answer it - but I did yesterday so let's give the others a chance!

I would give you a punny reply but unfortunately I don't get most of the English puns.
