WHEN STARS ERUPTED ππ«
NASA released photos capturing the aftermath of an erupting star.
"In 2002, a dull star in an obscure constellation suddenly became 600,000 times more luminous than our Sun. V838 Monocerotis, found about 20,000 light-years from Earth, grew enormously in size, putting out enough energy in a brief flash to light up the dust surrounding it," the space agency wrote in its description.
