TL;DR

T Coronae Borealis, a binary star system, is set to emit a burst of energy visible to the naked eye in the coming months, occurring about every 80 years as the smaller white dwarf steals matter from the red giant, leading to a fusion reaction. This recurring nova process is expected to take place between now and September in the constellation Corona Borealis.
