hoping it can hold on a few more months because where i live, the night sky will not be dark enough to see a single star
Jail?
Scandinavia… and yeah, when it comes to weather, definitely jail. Global warming is reforming it, though.
Astronomers are expecting a “new star” to appear in the night sky anytime between now and September in a celestial event that has been years in the making, according to NASA.
I mean, no. It hasn’t been years in the making, it happened a very, very long time ago. We just don’t get to see it until now.
It’s more that we’ve been anticipating the event for years.
This is saying good morning to everyone at midnight levels of pedantic. Astronomers need a common reference frame for discussing timing, and the reference frame they use is “when it’s observed at Earth”.
Because nothing else allows for coherent organization, discussion, or education.
A nuclear fusion event occurred in the accretion disk of a stellar remnant 2600 years ago or so. An astronomical event known as a nova will occur in the sky sometime this summer.
Years in the making is correct. Whether it’s 5 years or 5 billion years, that’s years in the making.
