A green star is actually a white star or light blue star, but it seems to be green to an observer during unusual circumstances.
History and specifics[]
The secondary star in the Prometheus system was green when seen from the surface of Prometheus IV. (TOS video game: The Promethean Prophecy)
As seen from Remus, at its furthest distance Romulus was a green star, the brightest in the night sky, whereas it was a visible disc when the planets were closest in their orbits. (TOS novel: Captain's Blood)
The Tkon system's star was a green star, at least when viewed using Tkon technology from Phocis Harju V. (TOS - Strange New Worlds 2016 short story: "Dilithium Is a Girl's Best Friend")
