Today's XKCD is one of the ones where I am not sure if I'm in on the joke or just being duped into thinking I am ...

Can anyone else see the colours? The comments in bsky make me think no which is making me question my eyeball-brain connectivity.

@johannab @Binder i can see differences in color. Mars in particular. but the diffs are very small.

@johannab Betelgeuse and Altair are probably the two most noticeably different from each other. Though it's less like they're different colours and more like different white-balances

@johannab
Open it on your phone, zoom in. Very obvious.

For whatever reason, pinch to zoom isn't working on the night sky in my area - I'd ask someone to help me with it, but whenever I try getting it to work, everyone wanders away, whispering to each other...

@johannab If I toggle between B&W mode and colour on my screen, I can see the difference. Not at first glance though!
