Hubble's view of an expanding halo of light around a distant star, named V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon). ...The illumination of interstellar dust comes from the red supergiant star at the middle of the image, which gave off a flashbulb-like pulse of light two years ago. V838 Mon is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, placing the star at the outer edge of our Milky Way galaxy.

There will be separate lessons for younger and older home schoolers with a group activity at the end. Next Monday Feb. 27th we will be covering “Animals and Winter Adaptations. Parents are encouraged to attend, but are also required to register.
