Description

Probably as everyone else on this site, I've been captured by Hubble's image of the "pillars of creation", and now that the new image came out after 20 years I've immediatly thought: what might have changed? I know, astronomical times are long but something must have changed in 20 years! Loaded and aligned files in Photoshop and turns out there aren't many differences, except maybe for a couple o stars (the one I marked in particular) that moved in the image. I don't think this is due to artifacts or processing since you have other stars really near that didn't move at all!

Anyone can cofirm me that it is really star motion and not an artifact? If so, how is that single star moving so fast compared to the others? I'm curuous!
