Explanation:
It's fun to scribble on the  
canvas of the sky.  
  
You can use a creative photographic technique to cause  
the light of point-like stars to dance across a digital  
image by tapping lightly on the telescope while making  
an exposure.  
  
The result will be a squiggly line traced by the star (or two  
squiggles traced by binary stars) that can reveal the star's color.  
  
Colorful  
lines, dubbed Ghirigori,  
made from stars found in  
the northern sky constellations Bootes,  
Corona Borealis, Ophiucus, and Coma Berenices, are captured  
in this artistic mosaic.  
  
The 25 stars creating the varied and colorful squiggles  
are identified around the border.  
  
Of course, temperature determines  
the color of a star.  
  
While whitish stars tend to be close to the Sun's temperature,  
stars with bluer hues are hotter, and yellow  
and red colors are cooler  
than the Sun.
