New study traces van Gogh's famed 'Starry Night' to an actual night sky from 1889

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists doubling as art detectives have traced Vincent van Gogh's " The Starry Night " to a celestial scene that suggests a new date for one of the world& New study has found that Vincent van Gogh's famous painting, "The Starry Night," may have been inspired by an actual night sky from 1889. The South Korean team matched the painting to a predawn sky over France's Saint-Remy de Provence, a month later than the long-accepted time frame for the painting. The findings suggest that rather than being a product of van Goeg’s imagination, the painting may have inspired him. The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. It also addresses a mystery that in mid-June 1889, the moon was not the thin crescent painted by van Googh, which Jose Luis Aragon at the National Autonomous University of Mexico described as an intriguing hypothesis.
