Reminds me of when Betelgeuse, the orange upper star of Orion, went dim in 2020. Lots of amateur reports on its brightness, 3x per night, for a few months waiting for it to go nova. It settled down a bit before disappearing behind the sun for the season and came back just fine. It was kinda fun to monitor, but soooo many false alarms from people trying to call it first
Between March and September, but that’s a pretty wide range. I guess just keep an eye out for the, “IT’S HAPPENING” posts.

Definitely will keep an eye out. Already have the eclipse in the calendar too.
