This isn't an expanding star: this is a light echo! In this time-lapse sonification, a pulse of light from the star V838 Monocerotis gives the illusion that the surrounding dust is expanding. In reality, it's just the light from the star's flash reaching dust farther away.

Hubble captured the first image #OTD in 2002! This star is 20,000 light-years away, at the outer edge of our Milky Way Galaxy. In this sonification, scientists mapped brightness to pitch and volume, and the surrounding stars are pitched to musical notes:

Cool

Wow 😮

Awesome...🌝

신비로워요

You did not get the memo???

Crystal shards pushing thru dust, size of crystal determines pitch, the ting peaks don't reduce, thus the light spreads to them probably made by faster moving crystals

👏👏👏

They can see a light echo millions of light years away.,,,but no one can make a charger wire that doesn’t short out!?…I don’t get it😂

Woah
