No, it is much too far away for that. We will see it get much brighter in the sky, much brighter than any other star. But, other than the pretty light show, it won't affect us.

How far away is Betelgeuse?

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant in the constellation Orion. It is approximately 640 light years from us.


How do you die from a supernova?

If a supernova were to explode nearby, then life on Earth might be impacted by the increased amount of radiation that would strike our planet, especially X-rays and cosmic rays. Fortunately for us, there are no nearby stars which are good candidates to be come supernovas. The closest is the red giant star Betelgeuse, in Orion, at about 800 light years away. When Betelgeuse explodes, it may shine as brightly as the full Moon!

Is there any way you can determine if Betelgeuse has gone supernova earlier this month?

The only way we'll ever know if Betelgeuse has "gone supernova" is when we see it. Of course, by the time we see it, the event will actually have happened some 640 years earlier, because that's how long its light takes to reach our eyes. Despite being only about 10 million years old (young, by stellar standards,) Betelgeuse is very late in its life cycle. Astronomers estimate in has about a million years left, maximum. Of course, it may already have experienced its supernova; we just don't know yet because when we see Betelgeuse, we're seeing it as it appeared in approximately the year 1375.


Does the star Sirius or Betelgeuse have a greater parallax angle?

Sirius will have a greater angle, because it is closer to us.


Is Betelgeuse going to destroy earth?

No. Some time in the next million years Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova, but it is too far away from us to damage the earth. All we will see is Betelgeuse getting a lot brighter in the night sky.

How long does it take light to reach earth from Betelgeuse?

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star about 640 light-years from Earth. So light from Betelgeuse takes 640 years to get here. Here's an interesting fact; the star Betelgeuse is probably near the end of its life, and may explode in a supernova explosion any time. Very massive stars like Betelgeuse live fast and die in under 100 million years, and Betelgeuse will probably go supernova within the next 10,000 years. This is like no time at all in cosmic terms, but in terms of a HUMAN lifetime, it probably will NOT happen while we're alive to see it. But it could. In fact, Betelgeuse might have exploded 500 years ago, and we wouldn't know it for another 140 years!
