Researchers conducted the first-ever near-infrared analysis of an extragalactic recurrent nova and found it is one of the ...

This is a nova explosion." Most novas have been seen erupting once, but a rare few have been observed to explode multiple times. These are known as recurrent novas, with intervals between ...

This NASA animation shows gamma rays (magenta) arise when accelerated particles in the explosion's shock wave crash into the red giant's stellar wind.

However, anyone hoping to schedule a time to observe this event, known as a Nova explosion or outburst, should prepare for disappointment. That is because there is no exact date for its occurrence.

Astronomers say that the stars of T Coronae Borealis or T CrB, a binary system that resides roughly 3,000 light years from Earth, will be visible during a rare nova explosion later this year.

Unlike a supernova, which destroys a dying star, the dwarf star remains intact after the nova explosion. It does, however, blast the material into space in an explosive flash that’s bright ...

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), a binary star system, will have a rare nova explosion visible to the naked eye for the first time since 1946. Occurring every 80 years, the event on 27th March 2024 ...

Schneider, too, admitted that no one can predict the nova. Astronomers say that the star explosion takes place once after T CrB's 128 orbits. The constellation has an orbital period of around 227 ...
