What’s Color Is The Universe?

In 2002, as a result of an analysis of the brightness of 200000 galaxies, some American scientists of the John Hopkins University concluded that the colour of the universe was light green, rather than, according to the popular belief, black with silvery spots.
However, some weeks after the announcement to the American Astronomical Society, they admitted a mistake of calculus and explained the universe's colour, in fact, was a dark shade of brown-grey.
Since the 1600s, some of the best minds asked themselves the reason why the night sky is black. If the universe is endless and contains countless stars, the sky should be luminous during the day as well as the night.
This question is known as Olbers’ paradox and its name derives from the German astronomer Heinrich Olbers, who described this phenomenon in 1826.
Still no one has found an acceptable answer to this question. Maybe there is a finite number of stars or maybe the light of the further stars hasn’t yet reached the Earth.
The Olbers’ idea was that, in the past, not every star shine: something would turn them on later.

What’s Color Is The Universe?

"what color" = "which color" (either of which would be correct)
"what's color" = "the color of what" (which doesn't make sense here)

In 2002, as a result of an analysis of the brightness of 200,000 galaxies, some American scientists of thefrom John Hopkins University concluded that the colour of the universe was light green, rather than, according to the popular belief, black with silvery spots, as popularly believed.

However, some weeks after the announcement to the American Astronomical Society, they admitted a mistake ofin calculusation and explained that the universe's colour, in fact, was a dark shade of brown-ish grey.

According to this article, the color is beige, which is much lighter than brownish grey.

A paradox is not really a phenomenon, so I just replaced "this phenomenon" with "it".

"The Olbers' idea" suggests that there are multiple people named Olbers (such as siblings or a married couple), and that the idea belongs to both of them.

Interesting and well-written post!

I thought it had been pretty well established for quite a while that the universe is not endless (or at least that stars are not equally distributed throughout it). It's even better established that the light of further stars hasn't yet reached the Earth.

Stay consistent with which spelling of color/colour you use.

Interesting! A brighter sky at night would be very cool but very weird.
