Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the once in a lifetime nova that's supposed to happen in 2024 and will be visible with a naked eye

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), is a recurrent nova in the constellation Corona Borealis.[11] It was first discovered in outburst in 1866 by John Birmingham,[12] although it had been observed earlier as a 10th magnitude star.[13] It may have been observed in 1217 and in 1787 as well
On 20 April 2016, the Sky and Telescope website reported a sustained brightening since February 2015 from magnitude 10.5 to about 9.2. A similar event was reported in 1938, followed by another outburst in 1946.[22] By June 2018, the star had dimmed slightly but still remained at an unusually high level of activity. In March or April 2023, it dimmed to magnitude 12.3.[23] A similar dimming occurred in the year before the 1946 outburst, indicating that it will likely erupt between March and September 2024.[24]
In the video, he says that it should be bright enough to see in a city and that light pollution likely won't impact it.
