Hubble Top Ten
Hubble Top Ten
Has anyone got that "Hubble Top 10" email with 10 astrophotos reportedly from the HST? There's one in there labelled "Starry Night". It's a nebula I've never seen before... and I can't find it anywhere else. Is it real?

Is this the one you are talking about?

That's it. Those are the pix that came in my email. But what is No. 8? The caption says: "No. 8 Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way."BMAONE23 wrote:Is this the one you are talking about?

I believe it is the picture that is of this

V838 Monocerotis
If you expand the previous link to full screen the pictures should line up like this
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
see if that makes sense
here is another good series of images over time

Looking at the series though, it appears that the surrounding stars react to the wave by brightening up as it nears them. Or is it just that the light wave gets dimmer marking the necessity of taking longer exposures to enhance the view of the wave thereby increasing the ammount of light gathered from the stars too giving them an apparent brightness increase?

That's it. You found it. And I remember reading about the "light echoes". Thanx for tracking down that information.
