And as it turn out , you may actually see these duplicate Sun with nothing more than a twosome of binoculars . If you know where to look , that is .

He ’s even got tips on how you may bewitch a glimpse of the satellite itself starting next yr , when its expected to pass between its parent genius and Earth — although doing so will actually require a decent scope , a CCD imager , and a advantage point located somewhere in Earth ’s Northeastern hemisphere .
