Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Light echoes from exploding star
Light echoes from an exploding star. Hubble Space Telescope image of an illuminated dust shell around the star v838 Monocerotis. This star underwent a massive brightening in January 2002, temporarily becoming the brightest star in the galaxy. The light from this outburst reflects from a series of dust shells around the star, which are thought to have been ejected during previous activity. The phenomenon allows study of the fine structure of the dust shells, which could help explain why the star behaves as it does. This image was taken on 8th February 2004 by the Advanced Camera for Surveys

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of light echoes from an exploding star. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on February 8th, 2004, it showcases a stunning illuminated dust shell surrounding the star v838 Monocerotis. In January 2002, this particular star experienced a massive brightening event, temporarily making it the brightest star in our galaxy. The intense light emitted during this outburst reflects off a series of previously ejected dust shells around the star. These shells provide scientists with valuable insights into their fine structure and help unravel why this star behaves as it does. The circular shape of the illuminated dust shell is beautifully showcased in this image, allowing us to marvel at its intricate details. This celestial spectacle offers astronomers an opportunity to study astrophysical phenomena such as stellar explosions and gas dynamics within these shells. As we delve deeper into understanding these light echoes and their connection to previous activities of v838 Monocerotis, we gain further knowledge about the life cycle of stars and their eventual demise. This image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of unraveling the mysteries that lie within our vast universe. Captured using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), this photograph exemplifies both scientific excellence and artistic beauty—a true masterpiece that Science Photo Library has graciously shared with us all.
