V838 Monocerotis (a rapidly expanding gas cloud in the constellation Monoceros) 210 seconds / 21 of 10 seconds Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain / ST-9E 3/22/2003 2325 / GNTO / Mark Kroska, Rebecca Purvis v838c-20020322.st9 data file This object (at RA 07h 04.1m Dec -03d 51') is changing on a time scale that is appreciable by humans . TAAS has produced their first image that Arne Henden had taken of the light echo around V838 Monocerotis. Al Kelly strung four images together showing its movement from Jan to Nov 2002. This Hubble site has gorgeous images with explanatory text. |
