Reply to comment by GrunkleStanwhich in [WP] One in 1,000 people are born 'star blind', a genetic disorder where they can't see the frequency of light emitted by stars. One day, they see something in the sky no one else can. by Vegan-bandit

Nice! I especially liked the idea of solar lanterns for star blind people to be able to see. It didn't quite occur to me that they wouldn't be able to see at all without them, but of course, our Sun is a star.

Real world stars are approximately blackbodies, emitting ALL frequencies below an upper limit. If anyone plays that part straight, that could range from reality-breaking to apocalyptic.
