That's not an optical transient. THIS is an optical transient.

(Excitement in astronomy this week, with the discovery of ASASSN-18fv: an obscure star only visible with big telescopes has suddenly become almost bright enough to see with the naked eye. It seems to be a new nova!) pic.twitter.com/swwyW5dHyM

I've been wanting to do a nice photo of it ever since finding out there existed a nebula called "The Dark Doodad". This is my best one yet taken at @astronomyvic dark sky site.

In the southern sky in Musca, just next to the Milky Way.

These stars orbit each other every 38 minutes — and they’re closer together than Earth and the Moon!: https://t.co/FnrjWwe2Z1 pic.twitter.com/Slv7mMSJqJ

.@NASAHubble's eyesight got a boost from this far-flung galaxy cluster's immense gravity. The gravitational lens warped and magnified light coming from behind it, allowing Hubble to observe a distant star-forming region. pic.twitter.com/8U1m867ZsR
