An event called a nova is anticipated to occur sometime in the coming months. Some 3,000 light years away is a binary star system called T Coronae Borealis, or \u201cT CrB.\u201d It consists of a red giant star with a smaller white dwarf star orbiting closely around it. Now the giant\u2019s outer atmosphere is all puffed up, and the dwarf star is close enough that its gravity continually captures some of the giant\u2019s hydrogen. About every 80 years, the white dwarf has accumulated so much of the other star\u2019s hydrogen, that it ignites a thermonuclear explosion. And that\u2019s the nova.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>T Coronae Borealis is located in the constellation Corona Borealis, or the \u201cNorthern Crown,\u201d and it\u2019s normally far too faint to see with the unaided eye. But it\u2019s predicted the nova will be as bright as the constellation\u2019s brightest star, which is about as bright as the North Star, Polaris. You\u2019ll find Corona Borealis right in between the two bright stars Arcturus and Vega, and you can use the Big Dipper\u2019s handle to point you to the right part of the sky. Try having a look for it on clear, dark nights before the nova, so you\u2019ll have a comparison when a new star suddenly becomes visible there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/psd\/solar-system\/skywatching\/2025\/may\/locate_corona_borealis_sky_chart.png?w=1920&#038;h=1080&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/psd\/solar-system\/skywatching\/2025\/may\/locate_corona_borealis_sky_chart.png?w=1920&#038;h=1080&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"An illustrated sky chart shows the evening sky with stars spread across the scene.

Predicting exactly when novas or any sort of stellar outburst will happen is tricky, but excitement began growing when astronomers observed the star to dim suddenly, much as it did right before its previous nova in 1946. When the nova finally does occur, it won\u2019t stay bright for long, likely flaring in peak brightness for only a few days. And since it\u2019s not predicted again for another 80 years, you might just want to join the watch for this super rare, naked eye stellar explosion in the sky!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are the phases of the Moon for May.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/psd\/solar-system\/skywatching\/2025\/may\/whats_up_may_2025_moon_phases.png?w=1920&#038;h=1080&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/psd\/solar-system\/skywatching\/2025\/may\/whats_up_may_2025_moon_phases.png?w=1920&#038;h=1080&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"The main phases of the Moon are illustrated in a horizontal row, with the first quarter moon on May 4, full moon on May 12, third quarter on May 20, and the new moon on May 26.\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2);
