This morning, Major William (Bill) Price posted his daily APOD regarding "Explosions from White Dwarf Star RS Oph", which is an awesome post... I responded with a short video of the same celestial event for added detail... I just received a response to the video I included as an adjunct, and SGT Mary Gossage had some interesting comments as noted below:
"The Video indicates it can be seen with binoculars (??) or telescope.
Since it is a binary system, and the stars are close with the "event" occurring frequently - guessing that could be what happens when the two solar systems are merging. Perhaps someone has published research about merging binary solar systems." Accordingly, I found another more detailed video by Physics professor Anton Petrov, which goes into far more detail about this recurrent Nova... and I am posting this as a response to SGT Gossage.
Enjoy!
Kerry

Sgt (Join to see) Cool share! I never was into astronomy but when my son and I go camping I like to lay back and watch the sky and wonder if there is life someplace else out there in the universe and what it is like there. Could Planet Earth take a lesson from someplace else? Maybe one day man will find out.
