Blaze Star that's 3,000 lightyears away will soon explode - and you'll get to see it from Earth: 'Once-in-a-lifetime event'

""We expect that [T Coronae Borealis] will erupt any night now, any month now," Bradley Schaefer, a Louisiana State University astronomer and Blaze Star specialist told Annie Jennemann of Hearst."

""It's a once-in-a-lifetime event that will create a lot of new astronomers out there," said NASA astronomer Dr. Rebekah Hounsell. "It's incredibly exciting to have this front-row seat.""

T Coronae Borealis, a star system located 3,000 light-years away, is expected to erupt imminently, mesmerizing stargazers with a new star appearance. Known as Blaze Star, this celestial event occurs roughly every 80 years, becoming visible for about a week, shining as brightly as Polaris. Due to the unique composition of a white dwarf and an ancient red giant, pressure builds until a thermonuclear explosion occurs. Astronomers have been eagerly awaiting this moment, emphasizing its significance for amateur astronomy enthusiasts. The best viewing will be from the Northern Crown constellation.
