Nova two and three days after eruption

Caption

Images of Nova Herculis 2021 (V1674 Her) taken with the CHARA Array, two and three days after the eruption began. The images show two outflows expanding in nearly perpendicular directions, forming an hourglass-like structure consistent with theoretical predictions (illustrated in the rightmost artistic impression).
