V838 Monocerotis Dreamscene

1920x1080

REAL OVER 5 -Year Timelapse of Exploding Star

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V838 Monocerotis—in the constellation Monoceros, 20,000 light years away from Earth—suffered a sudden outburst in 2002, catching astronomers by surprise. The variable red star got so big that it became one of the largest stars ever observed, producing 600,000 times more light that the Sun.

Scientists thought it was a nova, but then they realized they were wrong. The origin of this spectacular outbursts—which illuminated the interstellar dust around it at the speed of light—is still unknown.
Theories:

• An atypical nova outbursts (this is very unlikely.)
• A thermal pulse of a dying star (the new pulse illuminates the layers of star material previously ejected its previous outbursts.)
• A thermonuclear event withing a massive supergiant (in which the helium in one of the layers of the massive star ignites and starts a fusion process.)
• A mergeburst (the burst caused by the merge of two main sequence stars.)
• A planetary capture event (in which the star has swallowed one of its giant gas planets.)
