A nova ([V1725 Sco](https://astro-colibri.com/event:TCP%20J17064645-3528079)) exploded in the Scorpius constellation around 2024-09-09. It was named [TCP J17064645-3528079](http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J17064645-3528079.html). It is very bright and easily observable at the beginning of the night. But of course only from the Southern hemisphere…
