Near-infrared spectroscopy of the LMC recurrent nova LMCN 1968-12a: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/536/2/1710/7920752 -> Gemini South Observes Ultra-Hot Nova Erupting With Surprising Chemical Signature: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2509/ - astronomers uncover extremely hot and violent eruption from first ever near-infrared analysis of a #RecurrentNova outside of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Thinking of the Blaze Star, a recurrent nova coming soon, I wonder how many historic moments were marked by such events.

Soon, a 'new' star will shine for 3 days before vanishing. This nova repeats every ~80 years, and recent observations show it's imminent.

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.
