2024 nova event in T Coronae Borealis star system, visible from Earth with white dwarf star explosion.
NASA predicts a "once-in-a-lifetime" nova event in 2024, visible from Earth with the naked eye. The explosion will occur in the T Coronae Borealis star system, where a white dwarf star pulls in hydrogen from a nearby red giant, causing a thermonuclear explosion. The event will temporarily appear as a new star in the sky, lasting up to a week, before the star returns to its original brightness.
