  1. The ‘Blaze Star’ Could Explode Tonight — Here’s Where To Look

    Topline If predictions come true, June 25 could see a dim star in the night sky suddenly brighten…

  2. The compact white #dwarf has an immense gravitational pull, so great that it steals material away from its larger neighbour.

    "The #gravity on the surface of the white dwarf is a million times the gravity we feel on Earth, so if we stood on it, we would be crushed instantly"

    The material it grabs from the other star gets crushed and compressed - until eventually it triggers a nuclear #explosion, releasing 💥 a huge amount of energy bbc.com/news/articles/c140exem

  4. Dossier der Woche: Ein „neuer Stern“ am Himmel.
    In den nächsten Tagen oder Wochen wird am Himmel eine Nova aufleuchten – die Explosion eines Weißen Zwergs im Sternbild „Nördliche Krone“. #Nova #TCrB #CoronaBorealis #Sternexplosion #WeißerZwerg #Astronomie

  6. Prossimamente è prevista l'esplosione della nova ricorrente T Coronae Borealis (T CrB)

    T CrB è una stella binaria, composta da una nana bianca (i resti del nucleo di una stella al termine della sua "vita") e da una gigante rossa (una stella nelle ultime fasi della sua evoluzione)

  8. CW: Huge star explosion to appear in sky in once-in-a-lifetime event
    > The binary star system in the constellation Corona Borealis — “northern crown” — is normally too dim to see with the naked eye.
    >
    > But every 80 years or so, exchanges between its two stars, which are locked in a deadly embrace, spark a runaway nuclear explosion.

  13. Gaat T Coronae Borealis dit jaar uitbarsten?

    Als astronomen gelijk hebben dan zou een bekend noordelijk sterrenbeeld er in 2024 kortstondig anders uit kunnen zien want dan treedt een nova opnieuw op de voorgrond. Het gaat om de ster T Coronae Borealis

  14. Yay, #comet #ZTF clearly detected with a camera and a 50 mm lens w/o tracking by Stuart Atkinson in the U.K. this morning (cropped and boosted here; for the tails this method does not suffice ... yet): see facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160 for details and where to find the comet in #CoronaBorealis; it's path there in the coming week is plotted in twitter.com/mars_stu/status/16
