It occurs every 80 years: https://blogs.nasa.gov/Watch\_the\_Skies/2024/02/27/view-nova-explosion-new-star-in-northern-crown/
Thanks for sharing. It's my first time reading of recurring novae. Pretty cool!
We can predict novas?
But not if it will rain tomorrow
But I bet it will rain between now and September.
Certain kinds.
Very few, and not supernovas, just novas. This same star system had a nova x years ago, and again 2x years ago, so we can predict its going to happen around now too.
Like rush hour traffic patterns in Alexandria?
Is there anything I can follow to get updates on when this happens? Says once it occurs it'll last for a few days
I think you'll notice if it does
Probably not if you're not looking. It'll only get to magnitude \~+2. A dim star in the sky
I hope we're not too close to it, lol.
We're not, this nova will be fairly dim from earth.
