The universe continues to hold many surprises, as is the case with this interstellar visitor present in our solar system<\/a>, which raises many questions. But soon, a supernova could be visible in the sky, even in broad daylight. <\/p>\n

For more than a century, astronomers have been closely observing V Sagittae<\/a>, a double system located more than 10,000 light-years from Earth, with highly unstable behaviour and luminosity. And in this system are a massive star and a white dwarf<\/a>, linked by an orbit only twelve hours apart. <\/p>\n

This situation causes violent thermonuclear reactions because the white dwarf attracts matter from the other star. In addition, with the help of the Very Large Telescope<\/a>, astronomers have discovered a huge ring of gas surrounding these two stars, highlighting the white dwarf’s inability to suck up all of its companion’s matter. <\/p>\n

As a result, and in view of this critical situation, astronomers<\/a> believe that the accumulation of this matter could soon be responsible for a powerful explosion, called a supernova<\/a>, which will be visible to the naked eye. And that’s not all, because they expect the two stars to collide, causing a supernova that will even be visible in broad daylight. <\/p>\n

However, it is difficult to estimate when this event will take place and how intense it will be. Not to mention the fact that other cosmic events<\/a> may occur between now and then, disrupting this event.<\/p>\n
