Two rare naked-eye nova explosions, V572 Velorum and V462 Lupi, are currently visible in the southern hemisphere sky, an exceedingly rare event that may soon fade from view, caused by thermonuclear explosions on white dwarf stars in binary systems.
Two novae, V572 Velorum and V462 Lupi, have appeared simultaneously in the night sky, an extremely rare event, with both now visible to the naked eye in the Southern Hemisphere. This coincidence occurs as astronomers anticipate the explosion of T Coronae Borealis, which is expected roughly every 80 years. Such simultaneous nova events are unprecedented and highlight the rarity of these cosmic phenomena.
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.
A nova called V462 Lupi, which was initially too dim to see with the naked eye, has dramatically brightened after a stellar explosion, making it visible in the night sky near the Lupus constellation. The event was caused by a white dwarf in a binary system undergoing a fusion explosion, and it can be observed with binoculars or the naked eye before it fades from view. The best viewing time is around the new moon, especially for observers in the southern hemisphere.
A new nova, V462 Lupi, has appeared in the night sky and is now visible to the naked eye, brightening over 3 million times due to a stellar explosion involving a white dwarf and a companion star in the Lupus constellation, offering skywatchers a rare and dramatic celestial event.
Astronomers have detected a bright new classical nova, V462 Lupi, in the Lupus constellation, which is now visible to the naked eye from parts of North America, following a stellar explosion that occurred in the Milky Way.
