RS Ophiuchi has gone from being a star of mag 11 to 4.8, making it nice and visible with the eye! RS Oph belongs to the cataclysmic variable (CV) class of stars, which means it is an interesting class of star for us astrophysicists. For you none just think, you are looking at a star blow itself apart... cool?? Further info: [aavso.org] (includes a rather interesting historical overview) and a [sky chart] can be found if you wanna observe it.
