A "Blaze star" in Coronae Borealis constellation is expected to nova, visible to the naked eye and as bright as 100,000 suns.

A star nicknamed the "Blaze star" is about to explode in the Coronae Borealis constellation, in a nova event visible to the naked eye. It's expected to happen between now and the end of the year, and could be as bright as 100,000 suns. Scientists are relying on amateur astronomers, like those following NASA Universe on X, to spot the explosion first, as it's too expensive for major observatories to keep their equipment focused on the same subject for months at a time.
