An impending nova event will be so bright that people on Earth will be able to see the burst of light with the naked eye, NASA scientists said.
There’s an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star, with a mass comparable to the sun, on a star about 3,000 light years from Earth that is expected to explode at some point this summer, according to NASA.
The exact date when that will happen is unknown, although NASA continues to track it.
The spectacular explosion is “a once-in-a-lifetime event,” NASA’s nova expert Rebekah Hounsell said, “that will create a lot of new astronomers out there, giving young people a cosmic event they can observe for themselves, ask their own questions, and collect their own data.”
