Have you heard of the LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis, and BK Lyncis? No, they weren’t in the boy band in ancient Rome. They are Cataclysmic Variables, binary stars so close together that one star takes matter from its sibling. This causes the pairs to vary greatly in brightness. Could a planet exist in this chaotic environment? Can we see them? A new study says yes to both. Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) experienced a large increase in brightness. All stars vary in brightness to some degree, even our own sun. But the CV increase in brightness is much more pronounced than in stars like our Sun, and it happens on an irregular basis There are different types of catastrophic variables: classic nova, dwarf nova, multiple supernova, and others. All types share the same basic mechanics. A pair of stars orbit each other closely, and one star is larger than the other. The more massive ones are called primary stars, and draw gas from lower-mass stars, which astronomers ca

Playing an iconic character on stage that was so well portrayed by others in the film can come with a certain level of expectation. However, Kirby Burgess, who plays Kathryn — in Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical — takes things in stride. “Most people say, ‘Oh, you play Sarah Michelle Gellar,'” Burgess laughed.

The film, in turn, was inspired by the 1985 play Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which was adapted from the 1782 French novel of the same name. “Sarah Michelle Gellar, herself, was a ’90s icon,” Burgess said. “So stepping into his position, regardless of what role he plays is already quite a feat. “But it’s also an honor. He did an amazing job with this role.” In Kathryn, Burgess plays the villain. But he’s a fun villain. “I love playing the villain,” said Burgess. “I think there’s a real challenge as an actor to win over an audience, even though they kno
