The star, known as <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/m.economictimes.com\/topic\/v-sagittae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">V Sagittae<\/a>, lies around 10,000 light-years away and is a white dwarf currently feasting on a companion star, consuming its material in an extraordinary cosmic banquet.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists describe the two stars as locked in an &#8220;extraterrestrial tango,&#8221; orbiting each other every 12.3 hours while gradually spiralling closer. The findings, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, come from a collaboration of astronomers around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cV Sagittae isn\u2019t your typical star system. It\u2019s the brightest of its kind and has puzzled astronomers since it was first spotted in 1902,\u201d said Phil Charles, a researcher at the University of Southampton. <br \/>\u201cOur study shows this extreme luminosity is because the white dwarf is essentially draining its companion, using the stolen matter to create a thermonuclear inferno on its surface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The star\u2019s surface is heating to such extremes that it is undergoing thermonuclear reactions, causing it to blaze like a cosmic lighthouse.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ET logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1756640479_840_118783427.cms.png\" width=\"90%\"\/>Live Events<br \/>Observations with the Very Large Telescope in Chile, operated by the European Southern Observatory, revealed a massive ring of gas encircling the stars, a kind of stellar halo. This halo forms from the debris the white dwarf cannot consume fast enough, signalling that the celestial feast is reaching its limits.\u201cThe matter piling up on the white dwarf is expected to trigger a nova outburst within the coming years, making V Sagittae visible to the naked eye,\u201d explained Pablo Rodriguez-Gil of Spain\u2019s Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.Once the stars finally collide, the resulting supernova will be a spectacle of unprecedented brilliance, potentially visible even during the day. Scientists emphasise that this rare event would provide a front-row seat to one of the universe\u2019s most dramatic finales.Add <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ET Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/123467569.cms.png\"\/> as a Reliable and Trusted News SourceInputs from agencies <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Astronomers have discovered a dying star that may soon put on a cosmic spectacle visible from Earth during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[53029,53024,53023,18,19,17,53030,53027,133,1435,53026,53028,53025,9722],"class_list":{"0":"post-78630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-astronomy-today","9":"tag-daytime-supernova","10":"tag-death-of-stars","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-naked-eye-supernova","15":"tag-rare-cosmic-event","16":"tag-science","17":"tag-space-phenomena","18":"tag-star-explosion-visible","19":"tag-supernova-news","20":"tag-v-sagittae","21":"tag-white-dwarf-star"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
