POTSDAM — The Wednesday, Oct. 2 Clarkson University Science Café will be Nova of T Coronae Borealis of 2024 or 2025.
A nova is expected in 2024 or 2025 in the binary star T Coronae Borealis (the ‘Blaze Star’ in the constellation Corona Borealis), located 2900 LY away. It last had a nova outburst in 1946 and eighty years before that, putting it on an eighty-year period.
Elaine Fortin, Solar System Ambassador of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory, will discuss the understanding of novae, a form of astronomical transient, before and since the surprising knowledge learned from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray telescope launched in 2008.
Held in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room at 2 Park Street at 7:15 p.m.
