In 2024 There Will Be A Once In A Lifetime Stellar Explosion Visible From Everywhere!

Published 2024-04-27
But what's so special about this binary star?
Recently, a group of scientists from Louisiana State University published a study on this star in the Journal for the History of Astronomy. In that article, they explained that this star could be about to experience a colossal explosion known as NOVA in 2024.
But what is a nova, and how do we know precisely when it will happen?
T coronae borealis (T CrB)
This is a 10th-magnitude binary star, meaning it is not visible to the human eye and is barely visible to amateur telescopes. (T CrB) It is a binary star, meaning it is not a star but a star system of two different stars.
Origin of novae
A nova is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star. Hence, its name, "nova," which in Latin is written "nueva" and means new.
This appearance of a "new" star is temporary and can last for weeks or months. But as we mentioned, it is not the appearance of a new star, but rather a phenomenon that unleashes a brightness, which, seen from Earth, gives the impression that a new star appeared.
But how does a nova occur?
A nova forms from two main-sequence stars in a binary system. Normally, the stars in a binary system are very similar. However, most of the time, one of the two stars will have a greater mass than the other, so the star that has more mass will consume its fuel faster and reach its final stage of life sooner.
How do we know it will explode in 2024?
As mentioned above, T CrB has had explosions in the past that are currently recorded by the American Association of Variable Star Observers, or AAVSO.
How and where to observe it?
At Insane Curiosity, we don't like to be sensationalists, so we'll be honest with you: This event won't be repeated in 80 years! But... Unlike the solar eclipse of April 8, this one will not be able to be seen so easily.

That's gonna be the most trippiest experience I've ever had in my life, more than the full Solar Eclipse.
-
One must admit the admirable skill to obtain the accurate schedule for upcoming celestial events in 2024, available on this channel exclusively !
-
Easy, it'll appear on the one and only day I forget to look. 3000 years ago.
-
Maybe you need to clarify that it already happened but due to the distance, we'd see it this year.
-
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) may be visible during the day in September/October. I hope we get to see it!
-
Great video and information !
-
Interesting video! Hope i’ll be able to see it
-
This year is already going crazy, first we had the solar eclipse and now this🔥🥶💯
-
The music is overwhelming the commentary.
-
Stupid music drove me away at 1:59! Lose the music!
-
itll start on may 22
-
Actually the explosion has already happened...it's just now becoming visible because of distance..
-
“T CrB” is not an acronym because it’s not itself a word, it’s simply an initialism.
-
Haven't they been saying the same about betelguese
-
So if these binary stars are circling each other and both have gravity which pull on each other, why don’t they have pull themselves together and makee a larger star?
-
Cool.
-
yes like we use to say the past always catch on us,😁
-
Don't worry, be happy. It is as it should be. None of it will harm you unless you look too long at the Sun .
-
Nova isn't two stars. It's one star and one white dwarf, a stellar remnant. Your video is showing something different than what you're saying. The white dwarf has a much higher surface gravity and is pulling matter off its binary companion, accumulating mass at a predictable rate. When the white dwarf reaches 1.4 solar masses, the Chandrasekhar Limit, nuclear fusion begins, starts a chain reaction, and it explodes. I swear, these videos are getting worse.

How many times can a star do this ? I was always thinking that it's one time - you're talking like this is the 3rd time, if not more.
