Solar Eclipse watching..

[Reynard]

that will be so cool to see as it should last for months, but they keep changing their minds on the dimming theyve recorded. so who knows

Apparently they've recently discovered that Betelgeuse has a companion star orbiting it, which takes into account some of the periodic dimming that's been observed.

Worked out quite well I thought.
