Researchers have identified the night sky depicted in Van Gogh's "The Starry Night," suggesting it represents a real celestial scene observed around July 22, 1889. This finding contrasts with previous beliefs that the painting was created in June. The study involved astronomical analysis and historical document examination to confirm the celestial configuration. The team utilized modern telescopes and statistical methods to compare the painting with actual star positions. Van Gogh's letters indicate his interest in painting a starry sky, supporting the new timeline. However, further research is needed to solidify these conclusions.
