💥 A supernova may soon be visible in the sky

「 For more than a century, astronomers have been closely observing V Sagittae, a double system located more than 10,000 light-years from Earth, with highly unstable behaviour and luminosity. And in this system are a massive star and a white dwarf, linked by an orbit only twelve hours apart 」

A supernova may soon be visible in the sky

The space is full of mysteries, and many discoveries are made every year, much to the delight of enthusiasts. And soon, according to scientists, a supernova could be visible in the sky.

@jbz Thx @jbz! The date errorbars are still large, but wouldn't it be hot and gorgeous?

It would be really wonderful if it went nova, then supernova tomorrow (instead of hundreds of years from now).
