The imminent eruption of T Coronae Borealis

Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle in our night sky!

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), a distant star system located about 3,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Corona Borealis, is about to put on a dazzling show. Nicknamed the “Blaze Star”, this rare nova erupts roughly every 80 years. And astronomers believe the next eruption could happen at any moment in 2025. The drama unfolds as a white dwarf star siphons material from its red giant companion, until the pressure triggers a sudden, massive thermonuclear explosion on its surface. When it blows, T CrB will surge in brightness and could become visible to the naked eye for the first time in nearly a century, shining as brightly as the North Star.

Don’t miss this cosmic event, your chance to witness a real-time stellar eruption, something last seen in 1946 and not expected again for decades. Keep watching the sky! ;-)
