You would think it would be close enough to start bouncing lasers off it to form a composite image.
what?
TCB is a stubborn little binary. Scientists keep telling it when to go novae, but it’s going to do what it’s going to do. It’s hard to predict gravity and gas pressures/temps and we just have to wait. I think the prediction is now within about a year? It may continue to surprise us because you can’t put the universe in a box. 3 I Atlas is a great example: what the hell is it? Who knows. We can wait and watch. I guess humans just hate to spectate in the back seat.
Been watching for and started photographing TCrB for more than a year now. It needs to fish or cut bait.
