Blaze Star About To Go Nova

To spot the star, first locate the Big Dipper. Then, follow the direction its handle points (before it curves down) until you find a group of stars in a tight “U” shape. This is Corona Borealis, the constellation the Blaze star is located in. The nova will be just outside the “U” on the bottom left.

Once the star, nicknamed the “Blaze star,” goes nova, you have just days to hope for clear weather and try to spot it. It will be at its brightest the first night after it explodes.
