In the second half of 2024, a nova explosion in the star system called T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, will once again be visible to people on Earth. T CrB will appear 1,500 times brighter than usual, but it won’t be as spectacular as the event in 1054.
And kilonova, which is when two neutron stars collide!

What is kilonova explained?
A kilonova is an explosion resulting from the collision of two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole. These events are extremely energetic, and can release as much energy in a few seconds as our Sun will produce in its entire 10-billion-year lifetime.
Thank you for posting the bit and the link.
Holy fuck that’s so much energy!
Like when Bowie and Frankie made Under Pressure?
