1 ~~~ A rare nova is set to dazzle Australia’s skies for the first time in 80 years – here’s how you can see it
This once-in-a-lifetime stargazing event could happen any day now
It’s time to roll out the red carpet because a super star is coming to town.
Between now and September, the usually too-faint-to-see star T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is set to explode into the night sky for the first time in 80 years.
Scientists predict this rare nova will shine just as bright as the North Star, Polaris, making it completely visible to the naked eye from Australia.
While you can’t quite mark your calendars for this dazzling light display, here’s everything you can do to prepare for the outburst.
