A rare nova explosion is expected to be visible for an entire week.
As if the recent total solar eclipse wasn't enough, stargazers will now have another massive space event to look forward to.
It's believed that nova explosions, such as the one that's expected to happen to T CrB later this year, only happen about once a century. For a large majority of people, this will make it a once-in-a-lifetime event. Now, after the explosion happens, the star will enter a cool down period. It eventually will cool down to its pre-explosion temperature and the cycle will slowly begin again. This instance is also unique in the sense that this doesn't destroy the star like a supernova would. T CrB and the two stars within the system, have erupted for years.

2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Predicted to be 'Extremely Active'The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has been predicted to be 'extremely active,' according to Colorado State University (CSU) meteorologists. The meteorologists' predictions forecast that there will be 23 named storms in 2024, with 11 hurricanes and five major hurricanes. It's the highest number of hurricanes the meteorologists have predicted in their 41-year history of publishing the outlooks in April. Prior to this year, the highest number of predicted hurricanes made by the CSU team was for nine hurricanes in 1995, according to an Axios report. Record warm tropical and eastern subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are cited as the primary reason behind the forecast, CSU said. In addition to above-average ocean temperatures, El Niño is expected to transition into La Niña by this summer or fall. El Niño and La Niña are two climate patterns that greatly impact Earth's weather.
