A medieval manuscript likely hides a record of an impending recurrent nova
https://phys.org/news/2023-09-medieval-manuscript-impending-recurrent-nova.htmlApproximately every 80 years, a faint 10th magnitude star in the constellation of Corona Borealis dramatically increases its brightness. This star, T CrB, is known as a recurrent nova and last flared in 1946, peaking at magnitude 2.0, temporarily making it one of the 50 brightest stars in the night sky.
