New Star in Cygnus
October 22, 1975
Overview
We have just seen the brightest nova, or exploding star, for many years - Nova Cygni , which blazed out in the constellation of the Swan and became very bright. Patrick Moore talks about this strange and dramatic newcomer and reports on the research now being carried out by astronomers at the Royal Greenwich Observatory at Herstmonceux in Sussex.
