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.
No. Betelgeuse does not affect us.
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant in the constellation Orion. It is approximately 640 light years from us.
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!
Yes. The Barn Swallow, Bank Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Tree Swallow and the Northern Rough-winged Swallow are amongst some of the breeds of swallow found in the USA.
The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole was created on 2008-09-16.
it may expand and swallow and swallow us.
A device that explodes is against to law to manufacture or possess in the US. But, technically speaking, safety matches are explosives as they combust rapidly.
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.
Sirius will have a greater angle, because it is closer to us.
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.
It is soliver
The death of a star is an event that stretches over hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years. The exception is the explosion of a star, which can happen in as little as one day. Betelgeuse is considered to be a dying star. We know for sure that it did not explode at any time up until roughly the year 1370, because when we look at Betelgeuse in the sky tonight, we see it as it was in 1370, and the light that left it at that time is just reaching us now. It might have exploded since then, but we won't know that until we can see it. For example, if Betelgeuse exploded in 1776, then we'll see the explosion some time around the year 2415 or 2420.
