Over the summer, there is going to be a significant astronomical event. that will take place in the constellation of Corona Borealis. The event is in fact a nova, and not a supernova. I asked on the Fediverse to clarity what is going to happen.

Just making this post so I can also share some related links to help clarify the difference between the various types of Nova event.
