DWARF NOVA · the reliable eruptor
The most watched eruptive star in the sky. A white dwarf siphons gas from its small companion into a swirling disk, and every few weeks the disk suddenly brightens forty fold in a dwarf nova outburst. Generations of amateur astronomers have logged its eruptions for over a century, one of the longest citizen science projects in history.
