00:00Are you ready for a once-in-a-lifetime celestial show?

00:03This week, the night skies over North America might light up with an extraordinary event,

00:07a star explosion that you don't want to miss.

00:10The star system is called T. coronamborealis.

00:13It's a unique dew of stars, a red giant and a white dwarf.

00:17For years, the white dwarf has been stealing hydrogen from the red giant, building up pressure.

00:22And now, a massive explosion, known as a nova, could light up the sky.

00:26Don't confuse it with a supernova, though.

00:29This isn't the star itself exploding.

00:31Instead, it's a gigantic eruption from the surface.

00:35Even though this explosion is happening 3,000 light-years away,

00:38it's big enough to be visible from Earth.

00:40NASA scientists predict this rare cosmic event will happen by the end of the month.

00:45So how do you see it?

00:47You'll need to locate the northern crown constellation, or coronaborealis, after sunset.

00:52Once T. carbi erupts, the explosion will be visible to the naked eye for about a week.

00:57Astronomers are calling it a must-see event.

00:59Will you be watching?

01:00This could inspire the next generation of stargazers, so don't miss it.
