"Rare Chance to Witness Nova Explosion in Northern Crown"

A star system, T Coronae Borealis, located 3,000 light-years away, is expected to become visible to the naked eye during a nova outburst, a rare event occurring approximately every 80 years. This event, predicted to happen between February and September 2024, will elevate the star's brightness to a level similar to the North Star, Polaris, making it visible for several days and with binoculars for just over a week before dimming again. The outburst will appear as a "new" bright star in the constellation Corona Borealis, and it is one of only five recurring novas in our galaxy, caused by a binary system with a white dwarf and red giant.
