Cygnus X-3 and a Naked-Eye Nova
Manage episode 425932024 series 1176127
The clock is ticking on T Coronae Borealis which seems primed to undergo a nova explosion this summer. That will make this otherwise faint star as bright as Polaris thanks to a burst of nuclear fusion reactions on the exposed surface of this white dwarf. Another curious binary system, Cygnus X-3, is beaming x-rays toward us thanks to some nifty photon processing in the disk surrounding this black hole. Learn more about these cool systems, parallel universes, dense moons and more with your friendly neighborhood astroquarks.
