Astronomers have traced Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night to a real night sky, according to an October 22 study. It suggests that the artwork shows the sky as it was on July 22, 1889. Clues include the shape of the moon. Elijah Jeong-hyun Kim led the study. “No two skies are the same,” he told the AP. “I believe Vincent noticed those changes and put them into the painting.”
