Hubble’s Stunning Timelapse of a “Light Echo” ✨ | V838 Monocerotis in Motion 📸

@OurGalaxy83
This mesmerizing sequence from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope isn’t capturing an explosion—it’s an echo of light! The time-lapse shows a burst of light from the unusual star V838 Monocerotis reflecting off surrounding dust shells. As the light travels through space, it illuminates layers of dust, creating a breathtaking cosmic ripple effect. Located about 20,000 light-years away, this stellar phenomenon offers rare insight into interstellar environments and the nature of light echoes.
