Kinda thinking it would have required more than 12 million years to punch through and stretch out that dust/matter that far ??? Especially given the angular distances / geometry - 550 million ly, yet probably 15 degrees across the sky and the suggestion that Antares is only 12 million years old. Yes, the mass was always there. Maybe it was that gravitational disturbance that gave birth to Antares in the first place. But must have been one hell of a disturbance! Does Antares show evidence of heavier elements suggesting it being reincarnated star from the same stellar matter?
