3,000-light-year distant T Coronae Borealis, a dormant binary star system, will briefly flare up for the first time in 80 years, offering a rare observational opportunity.
A massive star explosion known as T Coronae Borealis, located 3,000 light-years away, is expected to be visible in the sky as a once-in-a-lifetime event between now and September. The binary star system, which has been dormant for 80 years, will briefly flare up, offering a rare opportunity for astronomers and skywatchers to observe it. While the explosion itself won't directly harm Earth, it will serve as a reminder of the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the universe.
