Apparently 6 weeks in the daylight.

I'd be awesome as hell to have two suns for over a month.

So it really happened like 640 years ago? And, were just now going to see the light from it?


A lot of the stars you can see at night are probably gone. The light is several thousands years old.

Btw this sounds awesome, i hope it aint bullshit.

Hey! This story is bullshit! Its been getting passed around the internet for a few months and gained steam recently, and someone emailed a researcher at the observatory this rumor supposedly came from.

Whatup.
