Is That All?

I’m happy to live in a world where I can read a blog post about two extraordinarily large stars in orbit around each other; think, “that orbital period makes it sound like they must be pretty close to each other”; and within moments have Google presenting me with the answer that these two stars are a mere 42,000,000km apart. We truly live in the future, but what we’ve got down here is like nothing compared to what’s happening up there.
