Tycho Brahe’s Nova Summary

The Urantia Book states that “The most recent of the major cosmic eruptions . . . was the extraordinary double star explosion, the light of which reached [Earth] in A.D. 1572. This conflagration was so intense that the explosion was clearly visible in broad daylight.” The explosion to which the Urantia Book refers has come to be known as Tycho Brahe’s Nova. It was not until several decades after The Urantia Book was published that astronomers determined that, in all likelihood, a double (or binary) star relationship, in which one star eventually accretes a critical amount of matter from the other star, is responsible for the explosion of this supernova. In 2004 researchers announced that they believe they have discovered the remnant of the companion star that gave rise to this explosion.
