[@mpireone]

Back in 1986, when I was in High School, I woke in the middle of the night, sat up and looked out of my condo window on the 9th floor. Can't say how long I was staring out towards the horizon, all I saw was a few dozen stars in the sky. The next thing I saw, not to high off the horizon, was a star that got really big, bright and started to shimmer... you could see how intense the energy was! At first I thought it was a helicopter searchlight because it just hovered and the light just shimmered big a bright for a good 10 seconds or so, then shrank back down to it's original size? I didn't see any helicopter flying away, so I was trying to process what I just saw... till this day I don't know what it was that I'd witness but it was pretty spectacular!

[@HiDave0016]

I had a very similar experience. I've been told if it was a dot, expanding then shrinkingnot a streak, it was probably a shooting start coming right at you. Especially is there was no news of any other celestial event.

The most dangerous Nova was the 1971 Nova that was actually a cop car in the mid 1980's that would pull up next to you at a stop light to see if you would light up the tires and drag race it. The flashing red and blue lights were well hidden as they looked like speakers in the rear window. This was in a Detroit suburb.

[@davekennedy6315]

We got something similar on the motorways/main A road (our Freeways) here in Essex, England but the cops were driving BMW 5 series! I used to travel down the A120 road doing 130+mph DAILY back in the later 90s (the speed limit was 70! Over 100mph was a licence loss, well over potential prison!) The cops would shoot up behind your car trying to goad you into racing! I was SO close to racing them numerous times, luckily they NEVER caught me!

[@g.k.1669]

I had a 1970 Chevelle SS, the most that the Nova would have had was a 396 so it would have been easy to take. Just glad that word got out on the street about the car. I was told about it just two hours earlier and I seen a lot of muscle cars pulled over by it that summer. @@davekennedy6315

Anton has a Canadian (specifically Montreal) accent with a slight trace of a residual Russian accent, and a strong influence from Canadian French (listen to his "th"s sounding almost like "d"s). Montrealers often make good news announcers, or play suave villains in movies. It's mostly in the tonal pattern, which you'll hear in old Montrealers like Leonard Cohen.

The imminence of the nova. Thinking about it already coming from far far away makes me feel alive in a different world. I feel it popping up in our sky by August 13.

[@rarespiritwendy]

I'm going with August 16th. Can't wait!

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Thanks for making us aware of this once in a lifetime event ! I'll pick June 26th, in memory of a good friend.

[@joythought]

Also the birthday of 3 people I know including myself.

[@karenvickery6070]

I just wrote that date, no reason, it just popped in my head.

[@IndyBiscuits]

My bday too

[@pixelspeeddev]

My guess is April 21, thanks for notifying us I wouldnt have known if it werent for your wonderful channel 😁

[@bakedbean37]

Yay. Cosmic birthday treat for me if you're right. 🙂

[@duudsuufd]

@@bakedbean37 I hope it will be three days earlier. On my birthday!

[@ridleyroid9060]

If were going bdays than jun 3 by all means!

[@Berninho4]

My guess is June 30th! Amazing video!

[@lpseem3770]

Fun fact. Nova is a weird sudoscience in one of the Lovecraft's story "Beyond the Walls of Sleep", where an unnamed entity transcended from a dream of a primitive man into a being of cosmic proportions.

I will predict May the 4th, since you are wearing a Star Wars T-shirt. Happy 2024, Anton, and MTFBWY!

June 18th ! Sorry to contribute to your endless scrolling 😅 Keep informing us of astronomical events, your delivery is stellar!!

[@jamiemarsh3422]

I like this date as well, my great aunt, aunt and son share this birthday 🤗. ✨

[@gsrjohn]

And here I am on June 19th, it's crazy to think how many people we all share a birthday with

[@gsrjohn]

That's an avg of 21,610,958.9 people per day for the 365 calendar days that share a birthday

[@Kanoee64]

My guess as well. It was unusual to scroll down just a few comments and see yours.

[@flipthechip4989]

Thank you for the very informative video ❤ My prediction is May 9th :)

[@lexidecimal9941]

Very cool vid, subbed, Nostradmaus and i both say Sept 7, 2024 as the start date.

[@lesissmilinglytryin1436]

Omg I love your ending smile so much I hope you never change it.

[@user-qr3nz1wi2j]

April 27th - my grandson’s 5th birthday, it’s amazing to think both he & I may only see this once, we’re in the UK, fingers crossed for clear skies!

[@drzander3378]

@user-qr3nz1wi2j, It would be great if you got a picture of him, you and the nova on his birthday! That would be stellar in every sense 😀

[@alkotrazzz]

Great idea with comments! It seems it made your channel be recommended by algorithms more, so that's how I found it, which is nice! I hope you know how to use API to filter comments and don't do it manually - if you don't, there is KZbin video about that (though you will have problems with parsing a bit still) Good luck in developing your channel! Date is 9th of May, the Victory day, let it be victory against evil and darkness again.

[@henlance]

Good job Anton, let's predict June 3rd 🤞

[@JacobraTheGreat]

June 5th. No matter when this happens, I'm super excited to see it! Thanks for sharing this event with is, Anton. 😊

[@jasonn9222]

My mom passed away April 11th last yr. It would bring joy to my heart and a bit of a feeling that she is being celebrated by illuminating the sky temporarily in her name. I would cherish that and it would be a permanent memory for the remainder of my life. R.I.P mom❤

[@HRHtheDude]

So did mine, Wednesday the 11th. My condolences.

[@isn0t42]

My condolences to the both of you.

[@divoulos5758]

So did mine 4 days ago

[@oirampeceda2409]

My mom also passed on April 11th some years ago ❤ Amen

[@jasonn9222]

@divoulos5758 4 days ago that's rough..I remember the days after my moms death were very dark. I have struggled very much since her death but the 1st month or so was extremely hard. She was my comfort and my security. I felt very alone and unable to cope without her. I still dream that she is alive and we're joking and having fun and wake up feeling so much pain knowing she is gone. It gets somewhat less painful as time goes by but little things will trigger my grief and sends me back into that darkness. I hope you can find solice and begin the process of dealing with your loss better than I have. I was a mommas boy thru n thru, maybe your situation is different. Dealing with my greedy family trying to take my share of her estate has left me angry at my remaining family so I truly feel like once she died the love for my remaining family died with her. Find peace within yourself cuz deep down that's the only way to overcome it. Ive learned nobody truly feels the pain of your loss. It's up to you to find it within you to overcome your grief. My sincere condolences..good luck.

[@GuapLord5000]

Cool stuff! June 31st!

[@Kenmei21]

I'm guessing it'll happen on May 20! Looking forward to it!

[@katheyjberry]

Since my birthday on April 8th is already taken for a great event, I'll go with July 24th, the date my oldest grandson turns 40 years old! Appreciate you so much, Anton! Thank you.

Gonna put mine down as July 2nd, 2024. Adding another once-in-a-lifetime viewing event to my activity list thanks to you. Keep up the fascinating space news, you wonderful person!

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

[@LaGuerre19]

I'm going for April 20 (4/20), my dudes and dudettes Edit: we're all winners no matter what the day because we have our wonderful person Anton always sharing amazing knowledge with us. You rock, Anton

It’s great that you make these videos because it gives access to knowledge of current science discoveries to people that don’t know where to find the study articles let alone understand what it says. Thank you.

May 18th 2024 is the day, mr Anton 🤘 Cheers from a Bulgarian in Canada 🙏 been following your channel for 7 or so years now, you're one of the greats! Bless you, brother

Why do you say the 138th doy with 227 remaining?

goddamnit now i have to change mine

[@diroos]

​@@erasethepatterns1 its the 139th day of the year isnt it?😅

[@seattletuttle]

People correctly mention that this has already occurred. What's really amazing is that it has already happened 37 times and we're still waiting on the light from all of those occurrences.

[@andymiller3366]

You don't know that as fact. You assume as such

[@inglebear84]

@@andymiller3366speed of light is a fact. Distance measuring of stars based on red-shift is largely accurate. Combine the two, we have the number of times this star has went Nova prior to us seeing its current light. Now, go color in the corner before you hurt yourself

[@wadeodonoghue1887]

So between the "Now" we experience and the "Now" in the space-time around the bi-stars there is 3000 years of light, meaning we see the Stars as they were 3000 years ago, here. 3000 div 80 is more than 30 times, which means 30 Nova blasts are in space-time on their way to us. Sure we don't know exactly when the Nova happens however like the random quantum world it does average to a pattern, which we can be confident in if we have seen enough of the pattern, in this case I feel we can assume each generation of our population may see a cosmic fire fart coming from the Pair.

[@PRND21]

If it happened 38 times we’d have seen it. 😂

[@rauminen4167]

@@PRND21 Nope. That's exactly the point.

[@cantripcan]

i have a memory of this documentary from way back in 2013 that talked about this, it was predicted to be the 24th of april 2024, so i'll put my money on that one

[@PeterLake]

I’ll go April 16th. (As the Uranium commodity usually has a very good week in the second trading week of April). Seems like a good window. What’s most exciting is that the $Billion space based spectrographs weren’t around 80 years ago so it will be fascinating to see all the gases and metals involved.

[@mattyfro73]

Hello Anton, thanks for your cool vids! I pick July 16th, my 51st year orbiting our sun which will one day become a white dwarf. Astronomy is fascinating and your content is top notch. Thank You!

[@infinitespace8313]

I’ve watched your channel for several years, keep up the great work Anton! I pick May 9th, 2024. This is the day I graduate from college with my degree in aerospace engineering. I guess the nova has already happened around 40 times since it’s 3000 light years away, very cool nonetheless!

[@donmilland7606]

congrats! good job!

This is why you’ve become one of my favourite channels! I read about this recently only briefly but I couldn’t find a date for observation and now I know why. Btw my guess would be August 11th.

[@InsertHandleHere968]

A total eclipse, northern lights in Texas, and a new bright star for a week in 2024. I’m so glad we have science now. I can’t imagine what kind of doom would have been predicted 5k years ago

There's always crap weather and visibility on my birthday on September 7, so I'll go with that lol
