The calculation is between March to September, rather towards September, so that this achievement is known, it is an advance, since there are about 10 stars that explode recurrently like this one in the form of novae, but we do not know what their cycle is, however , this one in particular is better studied and also has some clues, it is known that the star dims for approximately a year before exploding and that phenomenon began to occur in March 2023.

This stellar corpse is orbiting a red giant, which is an aging star, and what happens is that the dense white dwarf is stealing material from the Red Giant until it reaches a critical mass and a violent fusion reaction occurs, which is the one that causes the Nova type explosion, in addition, of novas, of these novae, we know 10 that repeat periodically, but we have specifically studied it better and that is why we know that it is going to explode.
