\u201cblaze,\u201d scientifically called T CrB, is actually made of two stars, a small hot white dwarf and a cool red giant, according to the outlet. <\/p>\n<p>The red giant sends out cool matter that gets pulled into the white dwarf\u2019s heated surface, which will accumulate until it explodes, causing the sudden brightness spike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly exciting to have this front-row seat,\u201d Dr. Rebekah Hounsell, an assistant research scientist at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>The last time T CrB went nova was in 1946 and is on a rather consistent near 80-year cycle for outbursts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a <a

giving young people a cosmic event they can observe for themselves, ask their own questions, and collect their own data,\u201d\u00a0Hounsell added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll fuel the next generation
