T Coronae Borealis will be visible to the naked eye for a couple of days before disappearing for another 80 years .

The blaze star will appear in a faint constellation called the Northern Crown , or Corona Borealis , between the constellations of Boötes and Hercules .

Astronomers have been unable to pinpoint exactly when it will spring into view.

It is predicted that it should appear sometime between now and September , but that could happen any day now.

T Coronae Borealis is quite close to Earth and flares regularly.

It is also a great chance for scientists to learn more about novae.

The nova will be watched carefully by scientists all around the world using the James Webb Space Telescope , the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and many others.
