Lunar New Year 2026 (also known as Chinese New Year) begins on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse.
The Lunar New Year is celebrated with a two-part 15-day festival. A Spring Festival lasts for 11 days, followed by the Lantern Festival for four days. In Asia, only the first seven days are considered a public holiday, though many keep up with the traditions for the duration of the Lunar New Year festivities. (There is also an 8-day celebration that precedes the the the Lunar New Year called “Little Year,” during which preparations are made.) (SOURCE: Farmer’s Almanac)

T Coronae Borealis Nova Explosion 2025: Has T CrB Nova Happened Yet?
The latest forecast for the T CrB Nova is November 2025. It could happen any day!
T Coronae Borealis recurrent nova
The event we’re so eagerly anticipating is called a nova, specifically a recurrent nova. Simply put, a nova is the sudden brightening of a star. And a recurrent nova is a nova that happens in cycles of a few decades or less. Don’t confuse it with a supernova, which is an explosion of a star when it dies.
For T Coronae Borealis, the cycle repeats every 80 years. The star tends to dim slightly for a year before an eruption, and it started dimming back in March 2023.
During the nova eruption, the star T Coronae Borealis will brighten from magnitude 10 to 2, which is visible to the naked eye. The exact date of this nova eruption is uncertain, with predictions ranging widely, and the true timing will only be clear when it actually begins.
