Once in a lifetime: The faint #binarystar T CrB will be visible as the 8th star in the #NorthernCrown for a few days during its 80-year periodic #Nova event sometime this summer. Who's waiting with us?

NASA, Global Astronomers Await Rare Nova Explosion - NASA

Around the world, professional and amateur astronomers alike are closely watching T Coronae Borealis – the “Blaze Star,” a binary system some 3,000 light-years from Earth – waiting for an impending nova explosion event so bright it will be visible on Earth with the naked eye.

In 1925, Dr. Cecilia Payne completed her PhD thesis, described as “the most brilliant ever written in astronomy.” At a time when few #women entered academia, Payne discovered what the universe is made of. Her work began a revolution in astrophysics.

Dr. Payne-Gaposchkin became the 1st female professor & 1st female department chair at Harvard. Given most of us remember names like Darwin & Newton, we should also celebrate Payne. #science #space

Hello folks of the astrodon
This is Jasmine and I'm a research assistant in Cairo Egypt.
I love how this server holds astro folks from virtually every place on the planet!
rn i work on research regarding binary central stars inside planetary nebulae and continuously anxious about what's waiting me in academia.

Here's a fun phone pic of Mars (left) and Capella (right) one night from my home in Cairo.
