    Van Gogh's iconic Starry Night painting is known for its swirling sky but the placement of the stars was based on scientific accuracy using an almanac from the time period. The painting depicts the view outside of an asylum window in Saint-Rémy where Van Gogh was receiving treatment. While the sky appears turbulent and colorful, Van Gogh's stars maintain their correct positions relative to one another based on the perspective from France on a summer night.
