This episode of the Hubblecast explores striking new Hubble observations of a variable star known as RS Puppis. This star is growing brighter and dimmer as it pulsates over a period of five weeks. These pulsations have created a stunning example of a phenomenon known as a light echo, where light appears to reverberate through the foggy environment around the star. • More information and download options: • http://www.spacetelescope.org/videos/... • Subscribe to our iTunes channel here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/h... • Credit: ESA/Hubble • Directed by: Nicola Guttridge • Visual design and editing: Martin Kornmesser • Written by: Nicola Guttridge Georgia Bladon • Presented by: Joe Liske (Dr J) • Narration: Sara Mendes da Costa • Images: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)-Hubble/Europe Collaboration • Acknowledgment: H.
