Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

The Blaze Star , or T Coronae Borealis, is located in the summer constellation Corona Borealis .

The last time this nova erupted was in 1946 .

Some astronomers had predicted it would light up by September this year , but that month has come and gone.

At the peak of its eruption, it could become as bright as Polaris , the North Star .

Astronomers are waiting with anticipation for this rare nova .

The last time T CrB erupted, there were no X-ray or gamma-ray telescopes in space.

NASA is counting on a global community that includes amateur stargazers.

A chart or app could help observers locate the nova , and it should be easily visible to everyone.
