I think that this star system needs a new name. "KPD1930+2752" just doesn't have the pazazz needed to sell it to the American people.

I was planning on turning in early tonight, but this sounds like it would be worth staying up for.

One is a hot, bright star.

How many light years is this star from the lens? Is it already gone and we're just waiting for the light in the sky?

Hey, I just checked with my wife, and she's OK with this:

We are going to grill some hamburgers and brats on the patio that night....ice down some beer cook some potato salad, french fries, and chips.

Put it on your calendar, you are all invited over to our house to watch the fireworks. (And don't tell me you can't get a babysitter this late-just bring the kids!!)

I hear KPD 1930 + 2752 will be better than Fourth of July!!

Depending on how far it is from us, it may have exploded already.

The BBC isn't known for its accuracy... 200 million years might be too small a span of time for them.
