An impending nova event will be so bright that people on Earth will be able to see the burst of light with the naked eye, NASA scientists said. 
There's an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star, with a mass comparable to the sun, on a star about 3,000 light years from Earth that is expected to explode at some point this summer, according to NASA.
