New Star Appears in Andromeda and Mystery of Stellar Outbursts
Astronomers report a new star in the Andromeda constellation brightening slowly toward sixth magnitude. Similar outbursts, such as Tycho Brahe's star and others in Cassiopeia, have appeared and faded over months, prompting theories of hydrogen gas explosions or distant world conflagrations. The phenomena, tied to vast cosmic distances, may reveal events that occurred long before light reaches Earth.
