I love that “recurrent nova” is a phrase.

Novas can recur. Supernovas cannot

The last reoccurrence was after 80 years in 1946, I wonder why they are expecting it 2 years early?

They did said “80 years or so” and “around 80 years”, maybe they did their calculation and predicted that this year is likely the time that it happen. They did give a huge margin of when it will happen though.

I wonder if there’s a way to get an alert or something so I don’t miss it. I tried searching for one but so far no luck.
