TL;DR Summary

Astronomers predict that a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic explosion in the T Coronae Borealis system, resulting from the interaction between two stars, will create a new, bright star visible to the naked eye for several days. This event, known as a nova, is expected to occur between now and September this year, and will make T Coronae Borealis the brightest star in the Corona Borealis constellation before gradually fading. The constellation can be observed in the UK, with the best viewing time approaching in the spring.
