According to Australian astronomers, the star Betelgeuse in the Orion nebula is predicted to have a supernova event which may reach earth by the end of 2012. [...]the supernova will result in the Earth having a second sun burning brightly in the sky for a period of several weeks.

Wow!!!! Just...wow!

I'm not sure about it being 'harmless', though. That's a lot of radiation pouring out of a supernova!

How strong is their prediction that the star will go supernova?

BUT, if they are on opposite sides would that mean 24hours of light everywhere? Yikes!

We have an atmosphere and a magnetic field, we'd be fine. In fact it wouldn't be the first time something like this has been reported -- the Crab Nebula is the result of a supernova of a star first observable on earth in 1054. At 6500 light years it's 10 times the distance of Betelgeuse and historical records show the explosion to have been visible in the day.

I hope by sheer chance it does happen next year, it will be pretty

Best fireworks ever.
