Monocerotis

TO VIEW DETAILS, CLICK ON THE PICTURE AGAIN

Variable star V838, Monocerotis lies near the edge of our Milky Way Galaxy, about 20,000 light years from the sun. This star was nominated as the most mysterious star in the Universe because of the expanding shell of dust light echoes, light years in diameter. Stellar evolution will continue for the next decade transforming V838 from a small under-luminous star to a cool super giant. scientific information taken from NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day
