A Star Could Explode In Once-In-80-Year Event Next Week. What To Know
T Coronae Borealis, a faint star in the Northern Crown constellation, is on the verge of exploding in a nova, which occurs only once every 80 years, researchers have said.

This Star Explosion To Be "Once-In-A-Lifetime" Cosmic Event, Says NASA
Known as "the blaze star," T Coronae Borealis is one of the galaxy's ten known recurring novas

Once-In-A-Lifetime Star Explosion To Appear In Sky After Gap Of 80 Years
Sometime between now and September, a massive explosion 3,000 light years from Earth will flare up in the night sky, giving amateur astronomers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this space oddity.

In Pics: Hubble Telescope Captures Death Of Star From 11.5 Billion Years Ago
About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova documented by astronomers in blow-by-blow detail.

In a First, Astronomers Watch a Giant Red Star Explode Violently in Real Time
In a first for astronomy, researchers were able to see in real time the death by explosion of a giant red star using ground-based telescopes. They saw the star, located 120 million light-years away from Earth in the NGC 5731 galaxy, self-destruct in a dramatic event and collapse in a type-2 supernova.

A Dying Star One Thousand Times Bigger Than The Sun Could Soon Explode
Betelgeuse, a reddish star that is part of the Orion constellation, may be entering a pre-supernova phase - where it gets fainter before collapsing in a fiery explosion.

Light From Star Explosion 12 Billion Years Ago Detected
In what could provide new insight into the structure of the early universe, light from the enormous explosion of a star more than 12 billion years ago - shortly after the Big Bang - was recently seen reaching earth.

When stars explode, it's a messy business
When stars explode, it's a messy business. But the massive blasts are also useful, seeding the universe with such key elements as calcium, iron and titanium.
