Two stars of about 6,100 K and 6,000 K (1.4 and 1.4 times the Sun's radius, ~1.1 and ~1.1 solar masses) orbit each other every 67.5 hours, 7.6 million km apart (the Sun-Mercury distance is 58 million km). We see the orbit at 79 degrees (90 = exactly edge-on), close enough to edge-on that they eclipse each other. Sizes, separation, tilt and colours come from fitting the TESS eclipses (see the model-fit plot) plus Gaia's temperature; masses assume normal main-sequence stars. The painted look, surface detail and background were added by a locally run image AI; the stars' sizes, colours and spacing follow the measured data.","tic":"33525558","title":"TIC 33525558","tmag":"10.93","type":"Eclipsing binary"}
