Astronomer Michael Woodman was the first person in the UK to see T Corona Borealis explode in the sky in 1946 .

The phenomenon is caused by the interaction between two stars orbiting each other.

Scientists believe T Cor Bor ignites about every 80 years or so , with an outburst of light occurring about once or so.

Astronomers around the world are poised to catch the light show.
