According to the observations of Calvin College astronomers, two stars will collide in 2022 and the bright explosion will light up 10,000 times, which would make it one of the brightest celestial show. Led by Lawrence Molnar, the astronomers presented their findings last week at the annual meeting of American Astronomical Society's in Grapevine, TX.

Digital Trends reports that the merging binary star system called KIC 9832227 can be seen within the Cygnus constellation with a star to be added to the Northern Cross pattern and this collision would be more than just a sight for stargazers but it can also render a rare chance of a celestial event. The astronomers have been studying the KIC 9832227 since 2013 after noticing that the stars are getting closer together.

The astronomers are positive that the two stars are going to fuse into a dazzling red nova in five years and the stunning collision can reach up to 2.0 magnitudes, which makes it visible from urban areas. "It's a one-in-a-million chance that you can predict an explosion," Molnar said in a press release.

According to Ars Technica, the astronomers predicted the timing and distance between the two stars in KIC 9832227 based on the previous observations of V1309 Scorpii, which is another binary star system that exploded in 2008. They also made their observations in 2015, which matched their exponential plot of orbital velocities and light curves and the stars in KIC 9832227 already share an atmosphere.

Molnar with his research assistant, Daniel Van Noord described the two stars as ‘two peanuts sharing a single shell'. Calvin College has a special telescope in New Mexico and will be used by the astronomers to study the stars as well as the Infrared Telescope Facility, the Very Large Array and the XMM-Newton spacecraft.
