“Stellar Spectral Types: OBAFGKM” is copyrighted by KPNO. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAstronomers classify stars into spectral types, originally based on hydrogen absorption lines. The system now uses letters like OBAFGKM to describe a star's temperature. This image shows the spectrum of an O star, followed by progressively cooler designations, illustrating how stellar light changes with temperature.
