Re: To think

Yes, it's staggeringly, mind-boggling. So close that they revolve around each other in under 7 minutes and yet it's estimated they are still 200,000 years from merging. To those of use with little to no knowledge of stellar engineering, I'd have more of a sense that colliding with each other was imminent on a human scale.
