Supernova 2024 Visible. Astronomers have predicted that a nearby white dwarf star orbiting in the t coronae borealis system some 3,000 light years from earth will erupt in a dramatic nova. The event, known as a nova, will be so bright that a “new” star will seem to appear in the night sky temporarily, visible to the naked eye.

This star system is called t. Please see our credits section for acknowledgements about catalogues and sky surveys used to generate this.
