Binary Sunset
The G2 star, Eresnewba beta, and distant red giant, Eresnewba alpha, set in apparent alignment (within 15 degrees) as they do approximately every 1024 earth days as viewed from Weber’s world. The seismic activity on the planet becomes uncomfortably intense. The outpost is schedule to be unmanned in a few years as the planet’s orbit becomes increasingly destabilized. The telemetry instrumentation will continue to transmit measurements of the Roche lobe overload (mass transfer due to the proximity of Eresnewba alpha and beta), and the shifting of the barycenter. But I hope to visit again for this spectacular annual event.
