T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), also known as the Blaze Star, is a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth. It periodically explodes in a recurring nova every 79 years or so, and it’s due ...

The nearby T Coronae Borealis system could still explode any day now, but calculations suggest the next best chance for fireworks is later this year.

Gravity then causes them to collapse and blow off their outer layers in a "red giant" stage, eventually leaving behind a compact core roughly the diameter of Earth - the white dwarf. "White dwarfs are ...

The system is classified as a recurrent nova, known for its periodic brightening, with documented eruptions occurring approximately every 80 years. The last documented brightening of T CrB occurred in ...

Stargazers watched the skies with bated breath on Thursday night in hopes that T Coronae Borealis, a system consisting of a hot, red giant star and a cool, white dwarf star about 3,000 light-years ...
