The Earth is on the verge of a “once in a lifetime” cosmic explosion visible to the naked eye!

Astronomers are anticipating an “exceptional” event represented by a cosmic explosion, which is a rare occurrence that occurs “once in a lifetime.” The bright explosion is expected to occur in the Milky Way Galaxy during the coming months, which will lead to the appearance of a new star in the sky for a short period during the night. According to the American network “NBC News”.

This event, known as a “NOVA” explosion, will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe the sky for those who live in the northern hemisphere, according to NASA, because the types of star systems in which such explosions occur are not common in the galaxy. .

According to “NBC News,” the stellar explosion will occur in a system called “T Coronae Borealis,” which is 3,000 light-years away from Earth, and contains two stars. A dead star, known as a “white dwarf,” orbits around it. A “red giant” star.

Red giant stars are dying stars, as the hydrogen fuel in their cores is exhausted. According to NASA, this is what the sun will eventually turn into.

Astronomers expect that a nova explosion could occur at any time between now and next September.

Bradley Schaeffer, professor emeritus of physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University, stated that the last time this star system exploded was in 1946, and it is likely that another eruption will not occur for 80 years or so.
