Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, with its mesmerizing landscapes, is ideal for camping. The rugged terrain under a blanket of stars creates a magical high-altitude retreat.

Vincent van Gogh's popular painting "The Starry Night" is widely celebrated for its artistic style, symbolism and for being a cultural icon.&nbsp;

Regarded as one of the greatest post-impressionist painters, scientists now have also determined that the crown jewel of Van Gogh's artwork is also scientifically accurate and abides closely by the laws of physics. &nbsp;

According to experts in China and France who closely examined the picture, the "hidden turbulence" in the depiction of the night sky closely resembled that of the turbulence seen in nature.&nbsp;

The painting prominently features a swirling blue sky with yellow moons and stars seen from Van Gogh's Saint-Remy-de-Provence asylum in southern France. Two cypress trees dominate the foreground on the left, while a village sits in the distance on the lower right.

<h2>Van Gogh's Starry Night follows Kolmogorov’s law</h2>

The researchers concluded that the picture obeys Kolmogorov’s law, which predicts atmospheric movement and scale according to measured inertial energy.

“With a high-resolution digital picture, we were able to measure precisely the typical size of the brushstrokes and compare these to the scales expected from turbulence theories,” said study co-author Yongxiang Huang of the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science at Xiamen University in China.

Yongxiang stated that the Dutch master's work "reveals a deep and intuitive understanding of natural phenomena" which he probably would have learnt by studying the movement of clouds and atmosphere.&nbsp;

The relative scale and spacing of his whirling brush strokes may have given the said effect.&nbsp;

“Van Gogh’s precise representation of turbulence might be from studying the movement of clouds and the atmosphere or an innate sense of how to capture the dynamism of the sky," Huang said.

The researchers also analysed the bright light-like reflections in the painting and discovered that it closely aligned with another Physics theory, Batchelor's scaling, which essentially describes the smallest fluctuations in turbulence before it dissipates.&nbsp;

“Vincent van Gogh, as one of the most notable painters, had a very careful observation of turbulent flows: he was able to reproduce not only the size of whirls/eddies, but also their relative distance and intensity in his painting," the researcher wrote in the study.

Van Gogh's Starry Night has real-world physics hidden in it. Here's what it is

Mexico's majestic Popocatepetl volcano erupted early on Tuesday morning, in a dramatic show of ash, water vapour and gas under a canopy of stars.

The dramatic eruption at 5:43 am local time (1143 GMT) spewed ash followed by incandescent rock. Shortly after sunrise, a new plume of ash and gas emerged from the snowcapped crater, reaching some 1,000 metres (3,200 feet) into the blue sky.

Popocatepetl is 5,426 metres (17,802 feet) tall and is the second-highest mountain in Mexico and the fifth-highest in North America.
