> As reported in the Astronomer Telegram, it was discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at 8.7 magnitude, below the average human limit for naked eye observations, even in ideal conditions. Sky & Telescope reports that this week, it has reached a 6.1 magnitude. This means it got 11 times brighter, and it's now at the edge of naked eye visibility in dark sky conditions.
The ... variable quality of IFLscience notwithstanding, the edit of the link and title to the ATel is pretty baffling, those are much less useful for the general public.

For anybody wondering who "You" in the title refers to. I don't think I'll be traveling any lower than 43 degrees latitude this summer, so I'm envious of all you who get to see it.
