Judy SchmidtSometimes you just gotta do some heavy lifting and remove a few quadrillion trillion tons of burning hydrogen out of the way.
The year is 2004. Once more, in October, Hubble turns to look at the light echo of V838 Mon.
It's hard to see blended against the other observations, so here's that last layer on its own. Seriously looks liquidy.
anyone else see the Easter bunny in there? 😂
Brought the stars back after isolating them to their own layer so they wouldn't add up and be super bright since they're all in the same spots over the years unlike the nebula. Also added a 2005 observation. Unsure if I want to add more or just stop here.
Stick a fork in it, it's done. (For now.) Added one final dataset from 2006 in violet. It definitely needed violet. 🏳️🌈 😆 https://flic.kr/p/2pFpQbY

Trey@spacegeck This is really cool! I’ve enjoyed watching the progress on this.
