Anticipated Nova Explosion

Astronomers are monitoring a binary star system expected to undergo a nova explosion, potentially becoming visible to the naked eye in the coming months. This rare event would offer a unique opportunity to observe a "new star" appearing in the night sky.

Any day now, a massive stellar blast could light up the night sky so brightly, you won't even need a telescope to see it.
