"Get Ready to Witness a Once-in-a-Lifetime Exploding Star Event in Florida"

TL;DR Summary
A nova outburst from the T Coronae Borealis star system is expected to be visible in the night sky over Florida sometime between now and September 2024, providing a rare opportunity for skywatchers. This recurring event, which occurs roughly every 80 years, is caused by a binary system consisting of a red giant and a white dwarf. While the exact timing is uncertain, the burst is expected to make the star system as bright as the North Star and remain visible to the naked eye for several days. Astronomers recommend looking for the "new" star within the Corona Borealis constellation and staying updated through NASA Universe for the event.
