Green Stars

Hi All
I have just finished listening to a podcast from Fraser Cain and Dr Pamela Gay, where part of the discussion was on "Green Stars". The question was essentially why don't we see them?

The response was that there are green stars but not many of them, AND, our eyes don't really see the green that well. (I think I have summarized accurately!).

The response doesn't really convince me that well. I understand that there may not be a lot of them. They would sit between the yellow stars and the larger blue giants. But if our eyes are more "sensitive" to green (which I think is correct), I thought we would have no problems seeing green stars. It sounded like the suggestion was our eyes have less trouble seeing the red stars.

Has anyone listened to the same podcast?
Darrell
