Howdy, Mongolia!

The absence of green stars is well explained here:

And here (scroll about halfway down the page):

There's an abundance of detail about stars' colors here (do a search
within the file for the word "green"):

Do these explanations satisfy?

Boy that that was quick.

Please go ahead and post.

Now my next question

Why are there no Pink Stars :-)

Mongolia

Mongolia,

Thank you for accepting the material I gathered on this interesting
subject. I confess that I had wondered the same thing in the past, so
I was forearmed with links that I found on an earlier occasion. It is
my expectation that eventually all the research that I've done to
satisfy my own quirky curiosity will come in handy on GA.

Regarding the matter of pink stars, I do not consider myself to be a
star, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I see signs of
gravitational collapse, and I often take antacid preparations because
of my gaseous core, so it may be that I am headed toward stardom. ;-)

Best,
Pink

usual precise answer.
And Glad to see that someone has decided to cheer up an Unhappy PAFALAFA :-)

<<sniff>>  nobody thought my link was funny <<sniff>>

But Pink, we consider you a star!  
Pink' stars just happen to all be a nice shade of purple, and come in
clusters, usually five at time.

Sorry, Paf, I know the feeling.

Cheers, Myo

There-there, pafalafa. The only reason nobody got the joke... is that
we all think Shrek is a has-been.

   Maybe you should o' tried the Hulk.

>> ...we all think Shrek is a has-been.

I can see it now: the next Shrek movie. In an effort to emulate the
success of "Brokeback Mountain," the filmmakers have decided that
Shrek will reluctantly confess to Fiona that he is gay.

The title of the film: OGRE & OUT.

...And Fiona will 'fess up that she knew it all along, but never
mentioned it 'cause she only married Shrek to be close to Donkey.

   I think they should cash in with a lesbian version of Brokeback
Mtn. I just wonder what they'd do as an equivalent to the... uh...
"back-door" scene. :)

Pafalafa, I thought your link was funny.  

Woo Hoo my first comment. 

Thanks.

cheryl1979-ga,

...and hopefully, the first of many.  

Welcome to the club.

Mongolia, 

Many thanks for the purple stars and the green tip! :-)
