Star may explode in once-in-a-lifetime event: Here’s how to see it
- T Coronae Borealis is expected to erupt on March 27, 2025, based on calculations by astronomer Jean Schneider at the Paris Observatory, published with the American Astronomical Society last year.
- If it erupts, the nova will appear as a new star in the constellation Corona Borealis, increasing its brightness from magnitude +10 to +2, according to NASA.
- Franck Marchis stated that observations suggest an imminent explosion, but the predictions remain uncertain due to the study being theoretical.
- If the star does not erupt on March 27, potential future dates for the nova are November 10, 2025, and June 25, 2026, as listed by Schneider in his recent paper.

Scientist Says This Star Is About to Explode So Brightly You'll Be Able to See It With the Naked Eye
Keep your eyes peeled, because a dim star is about to quite literally go nuclear. And guess what? Its outburst will be visible to the naked eye, providing a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness a rare stellar explosion known as a nova. The star, T Coronae Borealis, is believed to erupt roughly every 80 years. After closely monitoring its activity, astronomer Jean Schneider at the Paris Observatory has calculated that it'll erupt again this …
Within 18 months, the star T CrB in the constellation Corona Borealis could stage an explosion, the brightest nova in the last 50 years in the northern skies (ANSA)
