What researchers are calling a "Once-in-a-lifetime event," is a nova, or explosion, between two suns 3,000 lightyears away.

The findings reveal unusual chemical signatures and offer new insights into the behavior of novas beyond the Milky Way.

According to NASA, during a nova event, the white dwarf releases a massive explosion. The star will stay intact after this explosion, unlike during a supernova, in which the star explodes.

The once-in-a-lifetime explosion of T Coronae Borealis, also known as the "Blaze Star," is still pending -- but the event will be occurring soon, according to astronomers.
