Video title: Mark you calendar! Video content: The exact timing is unpredictable.
If it does happen, it actually happened 3,000 years ago which is still amazing to think we can look so far back in time.

Crazy to think that we are about to witness something that happened over 3000 years ago. I wonder what is happening there now? We may never know. If we discover another civilization it will be a vision from centuries long passed. We could send a message now and more than 60 generations would pass before we got an answer. Then if we respond it would take another 6000 years to get a response. Sounds like something legendary.

What's really neat about that much extra light, that close to home, is what it might also illuminate as far away as us, or just a little bit further, plus further and further, if it is not normally illuminated. I hope everyone who can closely inspect for "invisible" anomalies, is watch the sky on the "other" side of the planet that night.
This info just made me 10,000 times brighter 😎
Thank you for this clear explanation. I read this in the news but it was very superficial and I was wondering how they could know so precisely when a supernova was about to happen. Actually it's not a supernova but something even more fascinating.

Until September. Not September
TLDR:.. TCRB: T Corona Borealis had outbursts in 1866, 1946, an 80 year cycle. it can be found between the constellations Hercules and Bootes. the video says that watching the area of Corona Borealis over the next few weeks will increase your chances of seeing the event.
You know time is a perception for us. Time goes backwards and actually sideways. Light for instance has been proven by science to go backwards through time. What they don't get yet is time is going in all directions through the light. So now we have the Observer issue in physics.
How log will it takes?
"Visible to the naked eye in weeks!" ...Yeah, somewhere between one and one million weeks!
Burst now and see it in 3000 years. I'll watch some shorts in mean whilr.
And the questions remain when was the video made and what time of which day?
Misleading to use the word "supernova" in the thumbnail and suggest you'll see an explosion and not what appears to be a new star. Remember a nova and supernova are totally different things

I did a search and this is a copy and paste of the results. "The outburst from T Coronae Borealis, also known as the "Blaze Star", is expected to be visible to the naked eye for a few days to a little less than a week. Binoculars may allow for visibility for over a week. The outburst will occur when a white dwarf, or dead star, accumulates enough hydrogen-rich material from a red giant star, which will trigger a thermonuclear reaction. During the event, the star is expected to increase in magnitude from +10 to +2, making it roughly as bright as Polaris, the North Star. The outburst will release tens of thousands of times more energy than the sun does in a year, but it won't pose any danger to Earth because it's too far away. " As bright as the North Star doesn't seem so impressive compared to the visuals given in the video.

T Coronae Borealis in the constellation Corona Borealis. Please get your star names right.
Since its visual impact wasn't commented upon other than being visible to the naked eye, it appears it'll be as visually unimpressive as Hally's Comet was in '86. Hey Look a Star... Uhhh, which one? That one. There? No THERE! Nevermind.

So who said it's only weeks away? We're not predicting weather here. The nova could be 1-3 years away and I'm sure this vid will be forgotten when it does happen. 80 years from 1945 is 2025, so we're not even at 80 yet.

This system is like what 3000 light years away? JWST wont be able to zoom in enough nor have the resolution needed to see this event with detail. you have to remember the images of Nebulae from JWST are of celestial objects a good few thousand lightyears across, another thing any Supernovae from JWST are of "Super"novae not a normal nova which are much smaller, i believe all you may get from JWST if they do point it at the event is a graph with a few numbers. but id like to be proven wrong, this is just my theory anyways, not based on actual knowledge just my understanding, who knows
I'll believe it when I see it.

Too bad I live in a bright sky area, where I don't really get to see much in the way of stars. Plus, it's very humid this time of year, so water vapor blocks visibility even more. In the wintertime, when it's clear, I can actually see the Orion Nebula and Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye. I recently bought a pair of binoculars at a yard sale, and it helps dramatically. I'll give it a try though, once I locate the proper part of the sky that this binary star system resides in, and see if I might get lucky.
