"2024's Rare Nova: Your Guide to Witnessing the Spectacular Exploding Star"
A massive star explosion, known as a nova, is expected to occur in the Milky Way, visible to the naked eye, as T Coronae Borealis is set to explode at some point before September 2024. This event, which happens every 80 years, is dubbed a "once-in-a-lifetime thing" by a NASA astronomer. To catch a glimpse, observers should look towards the constellation Corona Borealis, with the explosion likely reaching the brightness of the North Star. No specific date has been given, but updates can be found on NASA's social media, and the spectacle will be visible for a few days with the naked eye and over a week with binoculars.
