Nova visible in the sky

The star is known as GSC 5325:1837 in the constellation Eridanus. What
was barely visible by a telescope before suddenly brightened to
something visible through binoculars, brighter than two well-known
nearby stars in that constellation.

"A nova is shining in the constellation Eridanus. Although not bright
enough for naked-eye viewing, it's an interesting object. It was
discovered on Nov. 25 by an astronomer named Koichi Itagaki of Yamagata,
Japan."
