    Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so.

    Pretty cool if you own a telescope and are into astronomy, but not exactly solar flare levels of hype here. Don’t wake up your SO and drag them out onto the lawn at 2am to show them this Nova.
