Hehehehehe I'm glad you took the time to answer, it doesn't mater that your answer was to a different question

Just getting back to the original point, in astronomical terms, what seems close to us, may in fact be a very long distance apart if one of the Nova is close (in the foreground) and the other is larger (further back in the background), if we are seeing them head on, we sense them as close but they may be a very long way apart.
