    The last recorded outburst from T Coronae Borealis – which includes a hot, red giant star and a cool, white dwarf star – was in 1946, according to the space agency, which forecasts it will do so again before September 2024.

    Everyone should download the app Starwalk 2

    It’s amazing I have had it for years.

    I saw this news opened the app and know that T Coronae Borealis is off to my left above the horizon at the moment. Unfortunately it’s the middle of the day though.

    Hopefully it will be in the sky tonight when it’s dark too.

    How long will this be visible once it happens? The article doesn’t seem to say. I’m assuming it’s not a blink and you’ll miss it kind of thing.
