I read in the Astronomy Magazine, if you look at it you will instantly go blinded. It is the light of the full moon into just one point in the sky.
Yes, it would be cool if Betelgeuse went supernova!
I'd like to see that, and how it would look in the night.
It'll be like Alaska! Yay! 24 hour "sunlight"... I should say light.
when supernova explodes night will turn to day
You're gonna need those sunglasses! rofl!
No, it wont turn into day. Betelgueze is too far from us... Or is it? But it wont turn into day.
Daylight at night! Some kids (young) won't need their nightlight no more!
I just hope it explodes in my lifetime. 1987A? Pffft. 2009/010/011/012... AWESOME! I've gotta see that! The people after that'll be like "I wish I could have saw that".
The giant Betelgeuze lost in the last 11 years 15% of its diameter. Astronomers donīt really know what that could mean.
Some think its periodic up and down, others think it could be the start of the final core collaps and an indicator for the soon coming supernova.
Another interesting fact is, how Betelgeuze lose matter. Evry year Betelgeuze lose as much matter as the mass of earth. Till yet scientists believed, that this is a constant process triggered from the strong solar wind.
But recently they discovered, that Betelgeuze lose matter in form of huge bubbles. That bubbles can grow bigger than the star itself.
