Bright Nova Illuminates Lupus Constellation for Skywatchers
A nova called V462 Lupi, which was initially too dim to see, has brightened dramatically after an explosion, making it visible to the naked eye in the Lupus constellation. The event was caused by a white dwarf star in a binary system undergoing a classical nova explosion. It can be observed with binoculars near the stars Delta Lupi and Kappa Centauri, especially from the southern hemisphere, before it fades from view.
