The nova V462 Lupi was first discovered on June 12 by the Ohio State University -led All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) The star that spawned the nova is usually too dim to see with the naked eye, boasting an apparent brightness — or magnitude — of +22.3.

However, the explosion of radiation thrown out by the noVA caused it to brighten dramatically, making it appear as if a new star is shining in the night sky.

The event is classified as a classical nova , which occurs when the gravitational influence of a white dwarf star orbiting in a binary system strips mass from its nearby companion.
