Amateur astronomers are relied upon to first spot astronomical events like nova explosions due to the costs associated with continuous monitoring by major observatories.
Advanced observatories such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will observe the nova explosion once spotted by amateur astronomers, enhancing understanding of binary star systems.
The nova, expected to be as bright as the North Star for a short period, will occur in the Corona Borealis constellation involving two stars - a white dwarf and a red giant.
