We spoke about T Coronae Borealis is the Nova Explosion episode of the BCO Podcast Episode 5. Now here Rob explains how to find it in the night sky. Best of luck and keep watching the skies!
Thank you, this is a great, helpful video. Straight to the point with no fluff. I've been following T Coronae Borealis for a while now, waiting for it to go nova. Now I won't have to worry about missing it.
@@0331machinegunman Have you tried watching the video with the sound on ? He explained perfectly where to look and how to find what you're looking for.
@@0331machinegunmansame to you as the previous commenter said, its like you watched the video completely silent, and expected to subtitle on the screen, how to find it with big red arrows and all that?
@@0331machinegunmanhe said somewhere within the constellation( the crown constellation he showed last and TALKED about, but yeah you watched the video mute). I checked on another starmap for the star location. You start from the brightest star go to the left side for the third star and its close next to it (left side, outside the "crown") just a little under.
@@norbertnagy5514 The goal is to be looking in the right patch of sky, not to see the exact star. When the change has occurred, because you're familiar with that patch of sky because you've been looking at it every night, you'll notice when it changes. So just keep checking to see if Hercules' head has lit up. When it has, you'll know it because you'll know something has changed. There is already a nice bright star up there to gaze at, so the rest isn't really important. There are only two really bright objects to find in the night sky. So when a third appears, you'll say "Wow that is a really bright star that isn't usually there," for about a week. And then it will be gone for another 80 something years or more.
Loved the way you explained how to traverse. Found it within 1 minute on my iPhone using the SkyView app, now I know exactly where to look when it happens. Any idea what times to look at it? Should I prefer a dark area? or one of those Sky Watching areas where people go to watch the Milky Way and such?
@@burnoutmusic7667no, we dont really know preciselly, its predicted in the next few MONTHS. But again, we dont really know, but you can go and check it out from time to time
Yesterday, I observed a couple of flashes in the sky, each about half an hour apart. It was as if someone had shone a (roughly) sun-sized flashlight from space. Both flashes appeared suddenly and faded out within roughly a second. I'm not well-versed in astronomy, but I'm certain there were no planes or satellites in sight. While researching this phenomenon, I stumbled upon this event and hoped someone could shed some light on what I saw. Or even perhaps confirm if I randomly did see the nova explosion.
Horse shoes and nukes...got viewers close to where to look..but fell short..The Secrets of universe YTC actually bullseye where to look. Which is outside the crown around the 7pm position.

What are you taking about? He just showed a static image. He didn't highlight anything 🤷🏼♂️
@@0331machinegunmanbut we know the location now

I wish there were more people that could explain it in a way I can understand. You did a wonderful job doing so! Thank you!
Use a star map. Find Hercules. If it has exploded, you will see Hercules' head light up.
@@YodaWasSiththats a little farther than whats in the video are you talking about the same star?

That was very clear. Thank you.
Brilliant video, cheers. You got a new sub
You only said how to find the Coronae Borealis constellation, not where the Blaze star will be in relation to that.
Thank you for the information, may I ask which software is used for this video?
stellarium
This is a helpful video
What program are you using to show us this on your computer?
How long will the naked eye view of the nova last? Will we be able to see it for hours? Days? Moments?

Depends on what place has less light polution. Really all that is matters, go look and check out what is more prefferable in your place
Thank you :)
thanks!!!!! not many video show,, your did
But when is the explosion?
Is going to happen soon, but is impossible to know exactly when
I feel as if it will be the 8th - the 12th of this month
September 2024

Please more please about cosmos and astronomy. Add. Like all about space and Universe. All subscriptions about Space
If it were to be seen now, i can’t see it, it has been raining almost everyday for the last 5 weeks ( NOT NORMAL )

Un likely because that only happens once every 80 years and it's going to happen anywhere from now till September
You probably saw shooting stars, they aren't super weird, I also got to see some some weeks ago
I wait !!
Theres literally somebody live streaming the Beetlejuice star saying that it's this Star set to supernova
Is this going to be an event where you need a telescope to watch or is it going to be visible by naked eyes?
Naked eyes
