    Betelgeuse supernova

    in Observing - Discussion

    Posted

    My 2nd favorite star dying is a shame. The nova couldve already happened, but the light from the explosion hasnt reached us yet. When betelguse goes it will be a spectacle to view for people all over the world.

    Right, but it's only 640 light-years away and AFAIK the best guesses of when it might pop is within the next million years... so it seems the chance/risk (depending on your preference) that we will ever get to experience it is on the slim side. And by slim I mean anorexic.
