Antares Observations
I've been a keen observer of Antares (Alpha Scorpii) for the past few years on and off. I'm not sure if it is due to the amount of dust in the air in Far North Queensland at the moment or just my eyes over the past month, but the star seems to have a more red-orange tinge to it. Could this mean that Antares could possibly go Super-Nova a lot sooner than anticipated ? I couldn't get any photography of it last night due to fast moving clouds and lack of patience on my behalf.
Can anyone explain it ?
