Most stars in our Galaxy appear to be stable and shine with essentially the same intensity over millions of years. Novae (and supernovae), on the other hand, suffer suddenly a gigantic explosion. Their brightness increases in only a day or two by more than several1 0,000 times, marking them often the brightest objects in the night sky, before they eventually fade in the course ofseveral years to their former relatively insignificant preoutburst brightness. These stars were called "novae" (which literally means "new stars"), long before it was realized that they are not new at all, but existed already as stars long before their outburst. Nova Aquilae (1918) is actually one of the very few objects which had been known to exist before it turned into a "nova".
