Barnard's Star and surrounds, optical image. This wide-field image shows the surroundings of the red dwarf known as Barnard's Star in the constellation of Ophiuchus. This picture was created from material forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The centre of the image shows Barnard's Star captured in three different exposures. The star is the fastest moving star in the night sky and its large apparent motion can be seen as its position changes between successive observations, shown in red, yellow and blue. For a wide-field view of this area, see image C042/9326. Image published in 2018. | |
