Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' may depict real sky from July 1889: Study

A study has suggested that Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's painting 'The Starry Night' may depict the actual sky over France's Saint-Rémy-de-Provence on July 22, 1889. Researchers found that the crescent Moon, Venus and the Hyades star cluster matched the painting's celestial arrangement. Historians have long dated the painting to June 1889, soon after Van Gogh checked into an asylum.
