- There is an exotic type of stellar outburst called a recurrent nova. It’s not a supernova, it’s even weirder than that. And one is scheduled to blow, like, right now.

@@DylanODonnell Not unappreciated! Thanks so much
Dylan is burning out his fuel, going supernova 🤩
Instructions unclear: I ended up photographing the dead burlesque dancer Blaze Starr.
The intro is the best part Dylan.
You know it'll probably rain in the Pacific Northwest anyway when it goes Nova. Sounds like a fun spectroscopy project.
There is a wonderful talk about "Recurrent Nova T CrB Coming Soon to a Sky Near You!" by Dr. Brad Schaefer on The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) YT channel. AAVSO will provide a notification when it occurs. I used a star tracker mount, Canon 60D and 50mm lens to create an image of Corona Borealis (astrobin). Plan is to make a gif from 30s exposures to show the nova given that it happens at night, clear skies, and not sleeping like Leslie Peltier :(
Yeeaaàhhh and it hasn't gone off yet, and nobody knows when. So unless you watch it all night long, every night for months, then you'll miss it. Aaaaaand if you do that and then it goes off during your day time when on the other side of the Earth you're one again screwed. So trying to observe it is mostly a gamble at best, and futile at the least.
Thanks again for another contribution to education.
Thx meow!
But, my reference pictures already taken. T CrB let’s go!
Just imaged the whole constellation two nights ago. It fits perfectly in fov with the Samyang/Rokinon/Wallimex 135mm f/2 lens with an APS-C camera sensor. And it takes only a few minutes of exposure time.
That's good to know, I have an identical set up which I was considering using.
I looked at Corona Borealis the other night and didn't see it. Still waiting!
ayyyyy i remember shooting RS Oph! My photos sucked!
42069 and all that other crap
"Personally, I don't know I can devote my telescope to just that one thing." That's why you need to buy several more observatories. One for every task.
I'm just gonna Photoshop Altinak in!🤪
The Cold War began after the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945, when the uneasy alliance between the United States and Great Britain on the one hand and the Soviet Union on the other started to fall apart.
Tensions between the two countries escalated during the post-World War II period and declarations by leaders on both sides, including Stalin and Churchill, and strategists, such as United States diplomat George Kennan, began to formally announce the existence of a Cold War.
The Soviet Union offered the US a treaty after WW2 that would have banned nuclear weapons but the US refused to agree.
The US then formed an aggressive pact called NATO against the Soviet Union in 1947.
Soon afterwards NATO admitted Nazi Germany who just lost the war as a member.
To suggest that Stalin started the cold war in 1946 is simply not supported by historical facts (maybe it’s the case in Hollywood movies😮)
Thanks for the clarification :)
Do you really believe Stalin would have abided by any non-nuclear treaty? Treaties are only there to placate the masses while governments find creative ways to sidestep them. All very sad I will agree but that's unfortunately the word we live in.
I see a few TH-camr astrophotographers pointing their camera’s at T CrB. Would be great if someone would catch it happening live. ( guess I’ll stick with a before and after shot. Oh and thanks for the uplifting end 😂
One question, how long would this be able to be observed?
Only a few day fully bright then dims again for weeks and months
Sir ..... , My name is VENKATA

..... from South India . I am an amateur Astronomer . I am watching stars and planets since 1985 . Today
I can identify hundreds of
Stars and the planets which
are visible to the naked eye .
' CORONA BOREALIS ' IS THE
NEIGHBOURING CONSTILLA-
TION OF " BUTES " . It also
Popularly known as Northern
Crown . ALFECCA is bright
Star in that Constellation .
I am awaiting to watch that
Celestial Event Intrestingly .
Thank you SIR . 🙏
- Venkata Ramana .
Thank you, it was very informative
Nice one. How about this Comet ? Its Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). AKA the One..AKA The G.O.A.T AKA the one blinds will see..AKA the WOW collector. etc ahah . this one will be seen by all hemisperes this months,at September it will be around 0.3 Magnitude !!!!!! i captured it 2 days ago,it is already very bright and has a great dust tail. greetings.
Two talks about the discoverer of T Corona Borealis by an forgotton Irish astronomer called John Birmingham on May 12th 1866. He saw this saw this event with the naked eye and sent his observations to William Huggins of Tulse Hill observatory in the UK who made subsequent analyisis using an early form of a spectroscope. www.youtube.com/@Astronomy_West
Here's the thing, bobbing astronaught you have on your monitor had spent many hundreds of years in stasis, a mission to the new water world discovered recently by the JWT, Sadly the spacecraft malfunctioned then ditched into its ocean, all the crew lost, he is the sole survivor of humanity, no food and unable to have a dump, thinking, shit shit shit bugger damn!! 😂.
The blaze event would be so good to capture, and indeed I will sequence this star. let's hope someone is lucky enough. Atb Tom
I do have 2 rigs.. Why did you do this to me.
I am sorry.
It's already happened! Three thousand and eighty years ago. If you know my meaning. 😉
Thanks for the alert - first time hearing about this event.
Fake news by clipping parts of this video: supernova explosion; life is meaningless, we are all going to die
I'm going to try I've got a 72ed or a 600mm f6 refractor what would be better
How far away is it has it already happened in reality but because of speed of light taking time to get here
Do not forget SS Cygni for blowing more often but here by a computer.
I am going to see this thing have an outburst twice just to spite you saying it is a 'once in a lifetime' event
My question is, for those of us like myself who are amateurs, how do we find out it went nova quickly? I have searched and searched by have not found a good place who confirms they will update people about it. I'm afraid I will miss it :(
Great question .. check the recent observations here : app.aavso.org/webobs/results/?star=000-BBW-825&num_results=200
If only the Observatory was ready...Haven't even cleared for the foundations...or planned it...or got planning approval...
You know why I freaking love this channel? Not just because of the astrophotography topics, there are others too like astrobackyard. No, this channel often also goes into the scientific and technical background of some topics.
And that... Is awesome 😁
Thanks man :) there are bigger channels than mine but I try to bridge the gap between the pure telescopist / gear / processing channels and actually science communication too :)
@@DylanODonnell yeah, but that's why I prefer this channel still over astrobackyard's. But... Sjjjjjt 🤫 Don't tell him 😄
I've been taking some pictures of this star and constellation in anticipation of the nova occurring. Useful to have some 'before' shots. It'll probably be cloudy anyway! 😁
Ah awesome you're talking about my favourite pastime, blazing and star gazing 😉😘
💨
It's actually eleven. The last added was Nova Eridani 2009 = KT Eri. It was found to spectroscopically be a recurrent novae with a period on the order of 40-50 years.
Nice! (I have a note there around the other 5 I didn’t mention because their periods are not solidly periodic down to the year, but can have large ranges. There are still only 5 of those very predictable ones. )
Hi Dylan, is almost a year and half, cannot use a telescope! Fucking Rain,all the time ! In Sydney! Is like the toilet of the world! Everyday, cloudy , and rain !!
Big hug
It’s killing me too!
Still waiting as of September 1, 2024. I hope it blows soon, while Coronavirus Borealis is still well above the horizon in the evenings!
Yep! Good chance it will happen near the sun now :(
I like your videos, but I don’t like this hyping and some details are not fully accurate.
My master thesis was on (dwarf) novae or cataclysmic variables. They are far more prevalent and outbursts occur more often.
I don’t think the “stealing of material when orbits are favourable” is correct, you wouldn’t get predictable periodic outbursts from that. Instead, the stars are in a stable orbit and when the companion star increases its size during the latter part of its life, as stars generally do when going through their fusion cycle, its outer volume will exceed the gravity boundary between the two stars (so called Roche lobe). That material will then fall towards the white dwarf. At a critical mass and surface pressure the matter accreted on the surface of the white dwarf will be ‘ignited’, ie hydrogen fusion will occur, a nova (stella). After the burst has subsided, the cycle of accretion will repeat itself, resulting in a somewhat predictable periodicity of bursts (in this case ~80 years).
Typically, the luminosity we see in-between bursts is not from either star, but it’s the so-called ‘hot spot’ where the falling material hits the accretion disk. As the binary system rotates, the hot spot will also rotate and might be partially eclipsed and cause a periodicity in luminosity which can be observed and measured, providing information on the binary rotation period and stellar masses.
My thesis covered 10 such systems, including one recorded outburst.
Very interesting !
Just a few days ago, I managed to capture my "before" images of this star. So now I'll have something to blink when it goes off.
Bracing for the 10, 000 photos that are about to flood social media.
The problem with "once in a life time events" is that I have a persistent habit of buying new telescope equipment right when these events occur...
Dylan, it's going to be cloudy for weeks - I've just installed a Moonlite focuser on my scope
I see the problem
Don't tell Greta. I don't want to hear the how dare you.
I always prefer loud and obnoxious intro especially when it's a banger over a trailer like intro. Imagine going to the cinema to watch a trailer for the movie you're about to watch.....
Yeh me too! Some people hate it but it makes me feel like it’s more of a show !
Keep faith in God, hope in Christ everything has so much meaning and purpose just hold on and strengthen or fix what you still have, find the silver lining and love your neighbor as your self and be authentic and fearless. That's what my teaches have taught me and I would have died without faith.
I got kicked out of a Christian school for apostasy :)
Ya’ll better like and subscribe! I mean destroy that like button with extreme prejudice!
Molest that subscribe button !
Astronomy is really a "field", rather than a "hobby". A hobby is model trains, and sewing doll clothes. All enjoyable for their respective practitioners. But astronomy is a realm in which *anyone* (as you so well represent here!) may well contribute substantive, scientific data; content.
The builder's butt crack! I almost choked on my medication when I saw that LMAO
I haven't been able to find any information on where to see this in the sky. More specifically, how do I find the specific spot? I've read what constellations to look for but not how to find those specific constellations. Is there a specific time of night that it would be easiest to locate the star?
depends on your equipment. I would point my scope to Epsilon Coronae Borealis (ε CrB), the orange giant star in Corona Borealis. Using a 30mm eyepiece, these two stars will fit in the frame edge to edge. just type 'blaze star' in stellarium to find it.
I wont dedicate the scope to it but will keep an eye out for it. Its almost Nebula season "already is if you stay up late / early enough" And I have 2 mosaics planned 1 6 panel of NGC 7000 and then a 4 panel on the Veil complex
Neat, but I really don't like loud interruptions in my astronomy videos. So hello and goodbye.
Hi! Bye!
I will definitely try to get before and during pics of it. I got a shot of the one kinda near the bubble nebula, V1405 Cass, a few years back.
I keep hearing it's going to explode since January. It's OK, I just hope it will do it soon and be brighter than predicted.
Way to leave it to the last moment to make the video!
3........this week you are killing it.
Damo
I wonder if anyone has taken a long exposure image of this star and whether it shows a series of rings coming off the star from these recurring explosions? I couldn't find anything online showing this (just a star). Perhaps this process hasn't been going on long enough to show anything. Just a thought 😊
It's one star I've been mentally tracking for some time. Worth having a look towards R Coronae Borealis ( at the center of the 'crown' ) as it's a variable star too ( mag 5 to 14 ).
been buying stuff from HighPoint Scientific for years and they are about 30 minutes from me in the great state of NJ. This means something... on no wait life is meaningless and we are all going to die dangnabit! 🙃
I already know who is going to miss that event like all the the supernovae last year and this year. 😂Just 4 clear nights since last year early September so I have no hope that I would get any exposure on that event. Maybe the nova can wait for another 3 weeks until I have my second high capacity mount that I can dedicate one of my scopes for this target exclusively when ever there is clear skies during the time that I am able to see the constelllation.
Its nothing visually special isnt it?
Just a little bright dot in the nightsky even with Telescope
Yes. But it's a nice addition to the sky for the observers
The star that actually goes nova is thousands of times fainter than the red giant. When the outburst does come, the white dwarf will for a short period be at least 100,000 times brighter than the Sun before it starts fading to it normal faint state.
I can't wait to hear what Knobby Roberts thinks of your title once you capture it....
And of course for us aussies, the BoM reckons there is another is a chance of another bloody La Nina coming 🤣
LET'S GO, I love astrophysicist Dylan.
If Cairns wasn't so cloudy every night hahahahah .
Worst year ever huh?
I got very intrigued.
Umm clouds in rain, for the next week in Brisbane.
Yup!
I may have missed it but how long will the Mag 2 Event last ? Cheers .
Only a few day fully bright then dims again for weeks and months
How long will the main event last? Hours? Minutes? Days?
Say if it happens at 12 noon, would we still get the full event once the sun sets? Or would the best of it already be decreasing in intensity?
Thanks again for another great video. Love your work.
Check the light curve on that first one that shows up in the video .. you see the dates across the X axis and mag on the Y
@@DylanODonnell it's hard to see mag on the Y as you have another image overlaying it.,can you please share the link to that one you are talking about. It would be great to read all the information on it. Thanks so much

Sounds like a stellar version of Old Faithful
Is it raining in Byron... you got nothing better to do than make youtube videos... maybe the beer fund needs replenishing :)
I would kill for a clear new moon again. Only one in the last 6 months !
Welcome to Hobart weather...
Oh snap, I learned something today. More content please!
i can confirm u did grab my attention with that begining
VirgoBlakeStar I am waiting for you
You like everyone’s comment on here?
Opportunity for dynamic deep space images this just keeps getting better.
I like blazing. 👍
Question is, will it be visible in naked eye, and if it is, will it be a process of days, hours or minutes?
Yes, naked eye .. probably for days/weeks.
@@DylanODonnell nice, thanks for answer. but will it appear as anything like this radial explosion the thumbnails on youtube about it keep showing, or will it be just a dot like a normal star? Sometimes its difficult to understand this for us regular people. Like, I have a powerful cam and with its mac zoon i can see the rings on saturn. Zooming it in his event will do anything?
Aah haa you’re back on my feed hope you are well Dylan.
Crap viewing. On the central coast for 18 odd months or more ,when it’s not raining it’s blowing a gale
all the best John🇦🇺😎🐈⬛
Dude this is the worst weather of my entire life so far.
I remember years ago reading a comment from someone saying your intro music was too loud and that you should use something quieter and more reserved. Your reply was something like "If you don't like it go somewhere else or turn down your volume." And I think you then made a longer intro or something. For that reason, everytime I watch your intro, I start smiling and think of that uptight viewer getting all bent. I love your humor and channel and wouldn't change a thing. I'm glad you stay true to yourself. Good times.
Haha yeh .. in hindsight it was a dick move but I’m glad I have a day job 😂
Hey Dylan, these short cycle periods are wild. Is there any possibility previously observed supernova may be misidentified reoccurring nova? Also do we have much data on triggers i.e increased percentage of mass? Cheers for your channel btw
Not sure! This Blaze Star one has some records in antiquity from hundreds of years ago allowing them the nail down the period. But there are 5 more with odd periods that appear more random. I’m sure someone has done the mass / orbit / accretion maths in a paper somewhere.
I plan to make my second observation of it in a few days.
Very cool mate! Would be awesome to capture this one! Oh, I do love the new intro (well, except for the butt crack 😅, maybe a little TMI)!
Hehe
Your intro is one of my fav, you shoud do a timeine on the changes, like that super crack, when did that make it in...
Mr Easter Egg. Or is that Keester Egg?
Hehe that’s one of the observatory build videos :) Gavin the sub contractor 😆
Would be very cool to capture this! 😎
Thanks Dylan. Always enjoy your videos.
Hopefully i will have my new rig set up to take some videos of the star. Will definitely add it to my list of targets to view and get photos
Hey thanks for watching :)
I have been performing photometry every clear night on this star for a few years. Can’t wait for it goes into outburst!
