The statement that the merger occurred between the years 1670 and 1672 (though copied from the source [1]) is misleading. What the statement really means is that the nova/merger was observed between 1670 and 1672, which is already covered in the bulk of the article. It couldn't have literally occurred between the two years, because the distance of the nova from Earth is about 2000 light years. I suggest removing this part of the statement again. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 18:59, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Take the article Kepler's Supernova. It says that the supernova was observed in 1604 - but it nowhere says that the star exploded in 1604. So likewise, this article shouldn't say that the stars merged in 1670. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 04:29, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
