- Who is Godot? What does he Mean? Is he supposed to be God? The magic words: Who Cares? Godot is what Alfred Hitchcock called the MacGuffin – a plot device about which the characters care desperately, but the audience isn’t meant to give a damn.
- Monitoring T CrB (apps.aavso.org)
The AAVSO and multiple astronomers request ongoing monitoring of the recurrent nova T CrB 1) to alert the astronomical community as soon as T CrB begins its eruption, and 2) to continue to build its multicolor light curve prior to, during, and after the anticipated eruption. Observations with all filters, as well as visual observations, are requested. Spectroscopy is also requested. Observations should be reported to the AAVSO International Database (AID) or AAVSO Spectroscopy Database (AVSpec) as soon as possible after making them.
