T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), popularly known as the "Blaze Star ," is on the verge of a rare and dramatic brightening.

This recurrent nova , located approximately 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Corona Borealis , was predicted to explode in a thermonuclear eruption between April and September 2024 .

The failure of the star to suddenly become visible to the naked eye during winter — for the first time since 1946 — is good news because, since September , it's not been visible until early hours .
