New nova in Centaurus might be visible to the unaided eye

In an “observing alerts” forum of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO), observers on September 22, 2025, reported a new nova – a bright stellar explosion – in the direction of the southern constellation Centaurus. The nova was reported as magnitude 6, or just on the edge of visibility to the eye. So it might be just in reach of the unaided eye from a dark-sky site.
