“Astronomers say it could erupt again on March 27, according to a paper published by the American Astronomical Society. If the star system does not explode then, it could happen in November or in June 2026.”
Translation: the star might go nova this week, if not, it will probably go nova on another random date in the future.
Was sad we didn’t see it when we heard a lot about it at the end of last year. Crossing my fingers!
Unless it’s a post saying it HAS erupted and visible I think every “might” post should be autodeleted.

Literally just saw something exactly like another poster here in perfect detail. About 30 minutes ago now. It was slowly slingshotting away through the sky as it got dimmer and distant. Blew my mind i didn’t know i what I was seeing but a nova crossed my mind after brief reasoning. Would have loved it to be a UFO too ngl but a once in a lifetime nova was a treat to witness on happenstance. My rollie was hanging from my mouth.
As per the wiki, predicted dates are:
> Around 27 March 2025, 10 November 2025, 25 June 2026 or 8 February 2027 (made in October 2024)
How do we pinpoint the exact dates, especially when they are months apart?
Is it the blue swirl pictures getting reposted in ask astronomy?
