Subdeacon Joe Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/nova-explosion-2024-new-star/3566378/ The star system, normally magnitude +10, which is far too dim to see with the unaided eye, will jump to magnitude +2 during the event," NASA said in a news release. The star system at the center of this event is called T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, and sits in the constellation Corona Borealis. When the outburst occurs, it will appear as a "new" bright star in the North Crown, which is a small arc between the constellations Bootes and Hercules.

Pat Riot Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Neat! I’m going to have to keep an eye on this. Luckily the event lasts days so I might not get skunked by cloud cover. Thanks Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Only occurs once every 80 years but this will be 78. Hopefully it will be during New Moon. Edited March 15 by Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
