A star is about to explode. Here’s how to watch it

An artist’s illustration of a nova similar to T Coronae Borealis, or the Blaze star. From Earth, it’ll be about as bright as the North Star, making it visible to the naked eye — even with Los Angeles’ light pollution. Here’s everything you need to know to join in on the fun: To get the word when the star goes nova, you can follow NASA Universe on X, formerly known as Twitter. Once the star, nicknamed the “Blaze star,” goes nova, you have just two or three days in Los Angeles — or about a week out in the desert — to hope for clear weather and try to spot it. Look at maps showing where the Blaze star is in relation to the Corona Borealis constellation, and try spotting the constellation in the night sky before the big day.
