The star known as Blaze Star, also called T Coronae Borealis, was expected to explode in May or June but has not shown any signs of doing so yet. However, it is anticipated that the cosmic explosion is imminent. Blaze Star's current magnitude of +2 is similar to that of the North Star, but being a recurring nova, it will only illuminate the sky brightly for a short period before returning to its original brightness.

Located in the Corona Borealis constellation around 3,000 light-years away, Blaze Star is part of a two-star system with a large red giant star and a small white dwarf star orbiting each other. Material from the red giant star is transferred to the white dwarf over time until a detonation occurs, resulting in a brightening of the white dwarf in the sky before it eventually returns to its normal state.

This phenomenon, known as a nova, occurs every 80 years, with the most recent explosion happening in 1946. The next one is expected soon, possibly earlier than predicted, based on the events leading up to the 1946 incident. This cycle has repeated for over 800 years, offering a unique opportunity for observers to witness and gather data on this spectacular event.However, an exact date cannot be determined by experts, but they anticipate it will occur around late September. To find the star, it is situated in the constellation Corona Borealis. Although it will not be visible until the thermonuclear eruption, other astronomical methods can be used to locate it. An easy method is to locate the Big Dipper, then move along the curve of its handle. A bright red star known as Arcturus will be visible. Further, in the northeast direction, find another star named Vega, and in between these two stars, the Blaze Star will become apparent.
