NASA announces visibility of 'zombie star' T Coronae Borealis after 80 years

NASA has announced that the 'zombie star' T Coronae Borealis, also known as the Blaze Star, will become visible after 80 years. This binary star system is expected to explode soon, marking its first appearance since 1946. Currently a white dwarf, T Coronae Borealis is drawing material from a companion red star. This process will lead to a thermonuclear explosion, making the star shine brightly for a short time, visible to the naked eye. The nova will appear in the Northern Crown constellation and is expected to last less than a week. Scientists are eager to study the elements released during the explosion, which contribute to the formation of materials in our solar system.
