I'll see your eclipse and raise a nova.

Two Spacecraft Failed on The 13th! What Are The Odds? Deep Space Updates

18:48 watch the skies so um we've wondered
18:52 when this might happen but NASA and
18:53 scientists have come on and say that
18:55 between now and September there's a
18:57 pretty good chance that there will be a
18:59 naked eye Nova in the northern
19:02 hemisphere right so this is a star
19:04 called tonus B torona Borealis right
19:07 which is a binary system with a white
19:09 dwarf in an accretion disc that slowly
19:11 pulls matter off the parent star and
19:14 every 80 years or so it has this massive
19:17 Nova explosion and it becomes like a
19:20 second or third magnitude star goes from
19:22 basically being invisible to being
19:24 visible in the sky so it's getting time
19:27 the last time this happened was was
19:29 1946 so this will be here for a few days
19:32 and then it will fade away so expect
19:35 that in the next uh you know few months

Still waiting on Betelgeuse.
