V838 Monocerotis

V838 Monocerotis, often referred to as V838 Mon, is a red variable star located in the constellation Monoceros.

It gained significant attention in early 2002 when it underwent a dramatic outburst, increasing in brightness by several magnitudes. This event was unusual because it was not a typical nova or supernova; instead, it was classified as a "light echo" phenomenon.
