From the skies of Jordan: Observing and photographing the star “T Corona Borealis” expected to explode soon

Arab Weather - Dr. Ammar Al-Sakaji, head of the Jordanian Astronomical Society, said that astronomers expect a stellar explosion soon that could happen at any time, based on numerous rigorous research studies. This explosion will happen to the star "T Corona Borealis" or the bright or burning star T CrB, which is a star that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but during its explosion periods it is seen in the sky for a period extending to days or more at an apparent magnitude similar to the apparent magnitude of the North Star or the North Star. The head of the Jordanian Astronomical Society, Ammar Al-Sakaji, monitored and photographed it at four o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, January 8, from the Al-Alouk Mountains north of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the photographing process took more than an hour.

T Coronal North Star Expected to Explode

This explosion is "rare" and has received global attention. The date of the explosion may occur at any time this year, but this is not exactly certain because recurring supernovae have a complex nature and it is difficult to predict their explosions.
This binary star system consisting of a giant star and a white dwarf known as T Coronalus borealis is located in the constellation Coronalus borealis, approximately 3,000 light-years from Earth. It is a famous supernova, and the first supernova to be observed using spectroscopic methods. It is famous for its dramatic and rare explosions.

This stellar binary is important in astronomy, especially variable stars such as a repeating star or a variable or renewed star, because it has witnessed multiple stellar explosions, the most famous of which were in 1866 and 1946. It is important for studying long-term change, especially in the evolution of binary systems containing a white dwarf and a red giant, as it contributes to understanding the evolution of stars and binary interactions. It is classified as a classical nova, which is different from a supernova.
The reason for these explosions is the accumulation of matter from the red giant onto the white dwarf. When a sufficient amount of matter accumulates on the white dwarf, a thermonuclear explosion occurs, which leads to a dramatic increase in its apparent magnitude from approximately 10 to 2. In the event of its explosion, it can be seen with the naked eye, like the brightness of the North Star.
