Nova!

Here’s the nova that recently became visible in the constellation Lupus the Wolf. It’s visible from mid-to-lower latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, but best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Before the nova suddenly burst into view on June 12, the star was a very faint magnitude 22. It’s now around 5.7 so it’s visible to the unaided eye in a dark sky. And it’s easy to spot in binoculars.
