A rare chance to see two exploding stars is happening in the southern sky
SMRTR summary
Two exploding stars in the Milky Way are visible to the naked eye in the southern sky, a rare astronomical event. These novas in the Lupus and Vela constellations may remain visible for a few more nights. Novas occur when a white dwarf star pulls material from a companion star, causing a bright explosion. This dual nova event is uncommon, with naked-eye novas typically happening once every couple of years.
