Overview

A bright starthat flares up where no naked-eye star has been seen before is termed a "nova". But a nova is not really new, merely a formerly faint star which suffers a temporary outburst. Professor Chris Kitchin , of Hertfordshire University, joins Patrick Moore to discuss these strange, unpredictable stars.
