Some current postings in regards to the “Blaze Star” T Coronae Borealis (T Crb) are suggesting it’d go Nova Real Soon Now. It hasn’t, however spectral indications recommend it might be able to go “soonish” (the place soonish is wherever between now and November 2025).
Though it’s worthwhile to be up within the early hours of the morning to see it, T CrB goes nova roughly each 80 years, the place it flaers from being invisible to the unaided eye to brighter than the brightest star in its constellation (~ magnitude 2). So its value whereas retaining an eye fixed out for this uncommon occasion.
