New visible star will be as bright as North Star

A distant star known as “Blaze Star,” officially designated T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), located 3,000 light-years away from our solar system, is expected to become visible to the naked eye for the first time since 1946.

According to NASA, it is anticipated to significantly brighten from its current magnitude of +10 to magnitude +2 by September 2024.

This would make it about as bright as Polaris, the North Star. The Blaze Star is situated in the Corona Borealis constellation, between Boötes and Hercules.

To locate it, observers can trace a path from the Big Dipper’s handle to Arcturus, then to Vega, and finally spot the faint curl of seven stars forming Corona Borealis.

Although not visible yet, it is expected to become clearly visible before the end of summer, Live Science has reported.
