Hi Dan, Thanks. The interferometry pretty much clinched what the eclipsing body is even if some details are still not known. This is an extremely interesting star system and way more complex than any I have seen. As far the JWST goes, the eclipse ends in May of this years so if and when it launches it will need to wait another 27 years for the next eclipse. I doubt I will be around to see that.
