HARRISBURG (TNS) — Talk about a flare for the dramatic.

As if we didn’t have enough celestial, heavenly body activity with the recent total solar eclipse, stargazers will have another huge event to mark on their calendars and save the date.

And this time, it’s even a week long.

According to the Earth website, it’s been 80 years since we’ve seen an exploding star visible to the naked eye. The stars of T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), which is a binary system roughly 3,000 light years away from Earth, is gearing up for an intense explosion.

The extremely rare, cosmic event is known as a nova and will be so bright that it will light up the sky temporarily, NBC News reported.

The event is set to happen in our Milky Way constellation in the northern hemisphere, and star explosions such as this rarely happen in our galaxy, according to NASA.

So, what will the explosion in the sky look like? The Nova explosion will be similar to a hydrogen bomb exploding in space, so it’ll look like a fireball, NBC News said.

It’ll be so distinct in the sky, you’ll be able to see it from your backyard.

“The last time this particular star system erupted was in 1946, where another eruption will likely not occur for another 80 years or so,” NASA said.

The rare nova explosion is expected to be visible for an entire week, and NASA currently says that the event could happen anytime between now and September.

So don’t fret about potentially missing the event. In fact, astronomers are closely monitoring the T Coronae Borealis system and say that once they detect an explosion, it’ll be visible in 24 hours.

Furthermore, astronomers looking into the event said they’ll release a more “precise timing” once they’ve accurately figured out when it’ll happen.
