“Fortunately, amateur astronomers can optimize their chances of glimpsing the fleeting light show by following several tips.

First, they should initially look toward the Northern Crown, a parabola-shaped constellation situated west of the Hercules constellation, Fox News reports.

They can then trace a straight line from the two brightest stars in the Northern Hemisphere — Arcturus and Vega — which will lead them to the Hercules constellation and the Corona Borealis, where the Blaze of glory will be most visible. It will look like a new star has appeared in the sky.”

I'm not impressed. It will look no different than an ordinary star. Like the article says, this is a nova, not a supernova.
