Some comments have intoned "it's not that bright," but from the article "It is expected to become the brightest object in the night sky for nine months"
Can anyone shed some information on this?
I know if someone made it difficult for me t oget my planned work done for the next nine months, my boss and I would be pretty ticked off.
- danielvf 9y agoThere's no possible way this is the brightest thing in the night sky - it's simply not that big, and most of the light that hits it will not be going towards you because of the facets. The only number I've seen puts it at 4.0 magnitude when flashing. That's hard to see with the naked eye from a US city, and there are about 500 stars brighter than that.
