Rare explosion in space is set to create a new star in the night sky that will be visible for just one week... here is how YOU can see it


How can this be when God has already numbered & named all the stars ?

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Psalms 147:4
You didn't bother to read the article, then? The explanation - even in tabloid-speak - is simple. It's not a new star, it is the violent interaction of two old ones.
You're welcome.

A new star will appear in the night sky for the first time in 80 years, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view it with the naked eye.

The star, called T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, is located in the sky's Northern hemisphere 3,000 light-years away from Earth and is set to explode some time this year - and outburst will illuminate in the sky like a star for one week.

T CrB will be located in the Corona Borealis constellation which is situated in a semicircular area in between the Bootes and Hercules constellations and is expected to shine as bright as the North Star, Polaris.

Looks like this happened before the Tower of Babel as the account of The Tower is the next chapter after the statement that the earth was divided in the days of Peleg.

Yes - This may have happened many times before and after the tower of Babel. like I state in my thread 'The micro & the Macro' the earth is alive & is expanding.
This can only happen on a level plane as I can't see a ball expanding Lol'z :eek:

Which one have you observed
Which one what? Star? I've seen lots. Novae? I don't think I've directly seen one myself yet, but I don't always know when these things are happening.

Now read the rest of the article, where it becomes clear that there is no new star, rather the brightening of an existing star because of its interaction with a close (orbiting) neighbour. (I think I pointed out it was an article from a tabloid newspaper. You can't unambiguous reporting from such a source.)

I guess you trust the article in that regard. But it's wrong because it's not a new star, just one you couldn't see before. 0 from 1.

But I'll bet you don't trust it in regard to this.
The star, called T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, is located in the sky's Northern hemisphere 3,000 light-years away from Earth...
Which is right. But you know...glassy domes and all that. So 0 from 2.

But then you thought this was right:
...and is set to explode some time this year - and outburst will illuminate in the sky like a star for one week.
But that is wrong again. If it's going to explode this year then we won't see it happen for another 3,000 years. What it should have said is: '...and exploded 3,000 years ago, which means we'll see it happening shortly.' 0 from 3.

The article is kinda dumbed down for those who are scientifically illiterate. It is the Daily Mail after all.

It did happen earlier. Three thousand years earlier. That's why you'll see it soon.

I'm assuming you know what a light year is...

So this is how far away a star is ? What a load of ol hog wash this is :rolleyes:

If you believe all this then I reckon you've got one big problem, they've truly indoctrinated you well.

A light-year is the distance light travels in one Earth year. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km). That is a 6 with 12 zeros behind it!
And here we have yet another 6, they do like their 6's.

Here's a few more examples of this.

I'm astounded. One that you don't know how far away stars are. And two, that you're still using imperial units. How quaint!

We can be specific. If the weather is good (the weekend looks ok for you) then wrap up and get out in your garden one evening and check out the North Star. It'll be in the...umm...north. It's 323 light years away.

While you are contemplating it, have a think as to why it's not visible from my garden (in Sydney).

Here is a short video that states otherwise.

No it didn't. It rather stupidly implied that stars a long way away can't be seen because...well, because they are a long way away.

Don't forget to check out the North Star. And see if you can spot the Southern Cross. I just did. Surely you must be able to.

Edit: Sorry, I nearly forgot. Check out the moon as well. There's something about what I see and what you'll see that will freak you out.
