This advanced cross stitch design comes from the Hubble Space Telescopeâs latest image of the star V838 Monocerotis and reveals dramatic changes in the illumination of surrounding dusty cloud structures. Light continues to echo three years after stellar outburst. The effect, called a light echo, has been unveiling never-before-seen dust patterns ever since the star suddenly brightened for several weeks in early 2002. You can stitch the dark background or use black cloth and only stitch the star. It would be fun to use metallic threads for the bright sparkling "dust particles" in the photo.
