SHELL OF RECURRENT NOVA Interestingly, we are discovering numerous examples of Recurrent Novae in our universe. We can observe a typical instance of a Nova that expels its shell in a nova event. After the shell has expanded sufficiently, we observe the remaining star left behind, primed for another future event where it will repeat the cycle repeatedly.
