Generally "nova" means new.
nova" class='external' title="nova
The sudden brightening of a previously inconspicuous" class='external' title="inconspicuousstar. The name, short for nova Stella (new star), formerly included objects now classified as supernovae and as other kinds of cataclysmic variables. Classical novae now include only those events where the energy source is hydrogen fusion (burning) on the surface of a white dwarf in a close binary system and the white dwarf is not destroyed in the process.
A handful of novae are discovered each year in the Milky Way Galaxy, and the total rate is probably 20-50 per year. A comparable number are found in other, nearby galaxies. The system consists of a normal, hydrogen-burning star in a close orbit (periods of a few days or less) around a white dwarf or degenerate" class='external' title="degeneratestar. A stream of gas flows from the normal star into a disk around the white dwarf and then accretes onto its surface. Hydrogen gradually builds up there until it is hot and dense enough for nuclear burning, normally with carbon, oxygen, neon, or magnesium" class='external' title="magnesiumfrom the white dwarf itself acting as a catalyst" class='external' title="catalyst. Any nuclear fuel ignited under degenerate conditions explodes, because energy released does not cause the gas to expand, so temperature rises rapidly.

Novae brighten in a few days and fade in months to years. The peak brightness is more than 100 times the solar luminosity" class='external' title="luminosity, and the total energy release more than 1045 erg" class='external' title="erg(1038 joule)" class='external' title="joule). Novae recur every 104-105 years.

The book "Astronomia Nova" by Johannes Kepler was published in 1609.
The first recorded observation of a nova was made by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD.
A drying star that has collapsed to the size of the earth and is slowly cooling off; located are lower left of the H-R diagram.
after a nova star becomes bright it turns into a dwarf and explodes.
A very beautiful, deep red and orange sunset, could be described as, "The sky was on fire!"
Nova means super.

As of today.... yes there is still a fire ban in effect. -July 29, 2012
Do you mean Sherbrooke Quebec? I have not found a Sherbrooke in Nova Scotia
Nova cura translated into English means New cure.
New
A new life
Bella means beautiful and nova means the stars and planets (beautiful night).
"In latin the name nova means new." That's true. BUT. the name nova in Native American language does NOT mean butterfly chaser. it means food. i found out the word means awesome and funny
There isn't a ship on the Nova Scotia flag. I think you mean the dragon.
