Blaze is Gonna Blow (extra footage) - Sixty Symbols
The Brief
- Extra footage from Professor Meghan Gray on the expected eruption of Blaze (T Coronae Borealis), a recurrent nova.
- The description points to a paper on the system's accretion history, Roche-lobe filling, orbital solution and radiative modeling.
- A linked article describes an independent identification of the star's 1946 eruption and an early prediction of a future outburst.
Why watch · It offers a closer look at the expected outburst of a recurring nova that astronomers have been anticipating.
- T Coronae Borealis
- Recurrent nova
- Blaze
