What’s Up in 2025?
Before reviewing the things that we know will happen this year, let me revisit some unfinished business from 2024. In March, I blogged about T Coronae Borealis, a recurrent nova that erupts about every 80 years. T CrB normally is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye, but when it erupts, T CrB is about as bright as the North Star for a night or two. There were some indications that 2024 was going to be the year T CrB would erupt (the last time was in 1946), with the eruption most likely happening by September 2024. Well, it didn’t happen. That makes it more likely that T CrB will brighten in 2025.
