Etymology

Nova is Latin for New.

In astronomy, Nova is a term used to classify newly discovered dying stars, generally white dwarfs. This is due to the astronomical event observed and recorded in the sixteenth century by Astronomer Tycho Brahe in his book De nova stella (concerning the new star). Much more explosive stars are deemed Supernovas in modern day astronomy, though Nova and Supernovas were used interchangeably for such stars up until the 1930s.
