R Aquarii discovery further confirmed

Way back in 2018 I reported on discovering faint ejecta around the star R Aquarii and this subsequently formed part of a PhD for Tiina Liimets of Estonia.

Well as all good things in science hope for, confirmation over time strengthens our understanding... and recently, a group using telescopes in Spain, did some extra long expsoures of R Aquarii, to confirm this feature and in more detail with wonderful results:

New R Aquarii confirmation

The scientific method on full display, very cool
