Keep your eyes on the night sky this summer, scanning for the constellation Corona Borealis, and if you are lucky, you may glimpse what appears to be a new star winking on in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brightening point of light will not be a new star, but a nova eruption about 3,000 light-years from Earth. There, a white dwarf star orbiting a red giant tears material from its larger companion. When enough mass collects on the white dwarf\u2019s surface, the rising pressure and temperature will trigger a blast that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye \u2014 but for only a few days to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n
