SPACE (KXAN) - A rare nova could occur in the next few nights. Called T Coronae Borealis, the "Blaze Star" and "T CrB" by astronomers, the binary star system could produce an explosion visible to the naked eye. Located about 3,000 light years from Earth, the "Blaze Star" is actually two stars. One is a white dwarf star, dead and shriveled, about the size of Earth. The other is an ancient red giant star that's slowly being devoured by the smaller star.
