This is just a close star that's colored bright green.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to search the SDSS by spectra. Is the data from the spectral chart of each object that has one organized in a way that someone could search for all objects with an O III level of a certain value? Since all those charts are just organized numbers, seems like a simple program could flag everything that had a high number for O III related to low values for the other parts of the spectrum. Anyone know if such a thing is possible with the way SDSS is currently organized? Oh, and if someone does create such a program, would you consider calling it "Pea-Picker"?

I posted a great little poem in another thread that the lovely and gracious Alice suggested that the readers of this thread might enjoy.
the address is

Bless - what is it with all these crazily exaggerated compliments these days?!  :D

Highly recommend the poem though!

The Queen Pea said my Cosmic Booger looks like a pair of peas, so I'm cross-posting. Two galaxy ID's, no spectra, but the color is so right-on I think they're peas.

ra=244.87522356, dec=58.40275789, ObjId = 587742783140004171 + 587742783140004170

By the way, Hanny, you found rare green peas, then a blue Voorwerp, so I believe the next in the rainbow you have to find is something yellow that sets the world of astronomy a-buzz!

A binary Pea galaxy system? That would be amazing. They certainly look the part, but
without a spectrum it's hard to say. Very well spotted though: excellent!!!!

This may be a possible quasar.



There is a huge spike here in the O III spectrum.
