"Get Ready to Witness a Once-in-a-Lifetime Space Explosion"

Astronomers are anticipating a rare celestial event later this year as a binary star system in the constellation T Corona Borealis is expected to undergo a massive explosion, making it visible to the naked eye for several days. This phenomenon, known as a recurring nova, occurs every 80 years and is caused by an exchange between a red giant and a white dwarf star. The upcoming event will provide a unique opportunity for astronomers to study and capture images of the explosion, with the James Webb space telescope set to be involved.
