Rare Celestial Event: Once-In-A-Lifetime Star Explosion Returns After 80-Year Absence

A massive explosion in a binary star system in the constellation Corona Borealis, located 3,000 light years from Earth, is set to flare up in the night sky, offering amateur astronomers a rare opportunity to witness this event. The explosion, which occurs approximately every 80 years, will make the star system visible to the naked eye and appear as bright as the North Star for a few days. This recurring nova, known as T Coronae Borealis or "Blaze Star," is the result of a runaway nuclear reaction between a red giant and a white dwarf in a deadly embrace. Astronomers are eagerly anticipating the event, and the James Webb space telescope will also be observing the outburst.
