A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

Forget Betelgeuse, These days, V Sagittae is so faint it's hard to find up there, even with a mid-sized telescope. But over the next few decades, as it's sucked into a nearby white dwarf, all of that could change.

Experts at Louisiana State University (LSU) think this pair of celestial underdogs is destined to become the most luminous star in the Milky Way galaxy, brighter even than Sirius, which currently holds the top spot.

At least, that is, for some 60-odd years. As the star and its dwarf companion gradually become one, their merge is set to create the explosion of a lifetime.
