What the viewer was meant to leave with
T Coronae Borealis (the 'Blaze Star'), ~3,000 light-years away, is a recurrent nova: a white dwarf steals hydrogen from a red giant companion until the stolen shell detonates in a thermonuclear runaway roughly every 80 years (last: 1946). When it erupts it brightens over a thousand times and appears as a naked-eye 'new star' in Corona Borealis for about a week. Astronomers say it is overdue — and because its light takes ~3,000 years to reach us, it may already have exploded.
Every episode declares this before a single shot is ordered. An episode that cannot name it does not get made — “that was nice” is a failure state.
Figures are read out of this episode’s own build folder, not estimated. Where the renderer recorded a measured runtime it is labelled as measured; where it did not, the planned value is shown and labelled as planned.
