The unusual galaxy is also missing most, if not all, of its dark matter. ---

OK ill stop messing about and take it seriously 17 November in 2005… On November 17 in 2005 V838 Monocerotis Light Echo This image captures a light echo from the star V838 Monocerotis. After the star brightened temporarily, light from that eruption began propagating outward through a dusty cloud around the star. The light reflects or “echoes” off the dust and then travels to Earth. I think I win as this looks like the backdrop to teh posters for 1980s Buck Rodgers (ooh Wilma Geering…) ![november-17-2019-v838-monocerotis-light-echo](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/6bbb23d973d2ccc9ac9924438ef43e14e90b97cf.jpeg) ---

The entire nebula is an incredible 55 light-years wide and 20 light-years tall. This image shows only a small part of this turbulent star-formation region, which lies about 4,000 light-years away. This image, made by Hubble in 2018, shows a region full of intense activity, with fierce winds from hot stars, swirling chimneys of gas, and energetic star formation, embedded within a hazy labyrinth of gas and dust. ---

I like Nebulas. Always a great place to hide your StarcShip. FFS Stop finding depressing threads. Movies I have no idea about, Egg hunts on fonts I cant read & a Hubble game where I see a Comets arse & others see Galaxies & Nebulas.
