When #Betelgeuse goes supernova it could shine about as bright as the full Moon. #cosmoknowledge

If it goes supernova today, humans wouldn’t know it for another 642.5 years from today. If we see this light show, then it went supernova 642.5 years ago. Everything we see in space is literally looking at the past. It’s mind blowing.

Light pollution has just killed our ability to view the stars in their amazingness.

It’s one of my current favorite things to look at in the night’s sky I can not imagine when this day comes🤩

[ryanhampson]

A new paper came out suggesting the Star is in its carbon fusing stage which could be only decades before it goes bang. In all reality it could have already exploded seeing its 600 light years away. The light just hasn’t reached us yet.

Sirius: I’m the brightest star in the sky
Betelgeuse: “Trigger the final gate”

[rodneyjohnson]

It would look just like the christmas star

I have once in my life seen venus just before dawn, it was abnormally big for a star/planet. I couldn't believe my eyes. It's a rare phenomenon and very few people have seen it.

I hope this happens soon! It will be awesomeee

Imagine a Supernova eclipse.





Yes, crazy

Cloud ☁️ is laughing in the corner of sky.😅😅😅

It would be neat to have a bunch of mirrors focus as much of its light at night as possible onto a solar pannel and charge up a small battery. Then you can say most of it charge came from betelgeuse at over 600 light years away....

[kellyobrien]

Yeah. Meanwhile, all telescopes are on this star... What if it never pops in our lifetime, but, meanwhile, a different star goes off, such as Rigel or Eta Carinae or Antares, and you missed it. Whoops! 💥

[biutubestubes]

We can see this in day? Imagine see a supernova with the sun. It's like a binary system.

[ClericChris]

I wear my sunglasses at night.
So I can, so I can.

Zec 14:7  En dit sal ‘n enige dag wees wat aan die HERE bekend is—geen dag en geen nag nie; maar teen die aand sal dit lig word.

[thetooginator]

Would it be blue? Asking for a friend.

[johnsamuels]

Is there a chance will it happen in our lifetime

[JBVantage]

I wonder if that light would be bright enough to affect our plant life on earth

[bose]

“When Betelgeuse is blue instead of red”…

[kokujin]

Ill fly home where there is no light pollution
