NASA | X-ray Satellites Monitor the Clashing Winds of a Colossal Binary

O-type stars are among the most massive and hottest known, pounding their surroundings with intense ultraviolet light and powerful outflows called stellar winds. NASA's Swift and ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatories took part in a 2011 campaign to monitor the interaction of two O stars bound together in the same binary system: Cygnus OB2 #9.

In either case, why would you have a problem with it?

[Polydynamix]

That's both true and wrong. Distance = space and there is very little difference between time and space, hence einsteins "spacetime"

THAT's a bad neighborhood.
