Astronomers are preparing to witness **T Corona Borealis**, a star that is expected to shine **once every 80 years**.
The star, located about **3,000 light years away**, became visible to Michael Woodman, an amateur astronomer, in **1946**.
For the first time in decades, stargazers are scanning the skies to catch a glimpse of **T Cor Bor**, which will only be visible for a **few days** at most.
The star's **explosive brightness** is the result of a white dwarf interacting with a larger red giant, leading to a **nuclear explosion**.
With hopeful anticipation, astronomers aim to better study this **celestial phenomenon**, as they suspect it may soon erupt.
