However, experts anticipate that the cosmic event is finally on the horizon. T Coronae Borealis, shining at a magnitude similar to the North Star, is a recurring nova that will briefly illuminate the sky before returning to its original brightness. Positioned in the Corona Borealis constellation, approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth, it would take around 57 million years to reach this star even at a speed of 35,000 mph. This star is part of a binary system consisting of a red giant and a white dwarf star orbiting each other, with a vast age difference between the two. The white dwarf accumulates matter from the red giant, leading to detonations and bright eruptions known as novas that eventually fade. The upcoming nova event, visible to the naked eye for about a week, happens roughly every 80 years, with the last one observed in 1946. This time, astronomers believe the explosion could occur earlier due to a preceding event. Viewers can expect a spectacular display of brightness during this event, which has been accurately recorded for over 800 years. The exact timing of the explosion remains uncertain, but astronomers suggest it could happen soon.Although an exact date cannot be determined, experts predict that the event will probably occur towards the end of September. To locate the star, which is situated in the constellation Corona Borealis and will not be visible until the thermonuclear eruption, other astronomical methods can be used. A simple way to find it is to identify the Big Dipper and trace the curve of its handle. This will lead you to a bright red star known as Arcturus. From there, look for the star Vega to the northeast, and the Blaze Star will be visible between the two.
