Upcoming Astronomical Event: Witness the Brightest T Corona Borealis Nova in 80 Years

Broke On: Monday, 29 July 2024 In July 2024, the star T Corona Borealis (T CrB) in the constellation Corona Borealis will become a nova, brightening up to over 1000 times its normal state and becoming visible to the naked eye. This rare event occurs when a white dwarf pulls hydrogen gas from its M-type companion, leading to a thermonuclear explosion that fuses hydrogen into helium. Amateur astronomers have been documenting this event and will contribute valuable research on binary star systems and nova explosions.
