This is a photo of the painting Starry Night that was paibted by Vincent van Gogh. It is considered to be one of the most famous icons of the night sky ever created. Although van Gogh was famous for portraying real settings, art historians dont agree that the positioning of the stars in the sky is accurate. I've always liked this photograph very much and used to have a copy hanging in my bedroom. I chose this for my blog because I thought it was cool that it wasn't an actual picture of space.
