From what I remember, you’ll be able to see at day.
And of course it all happened a long time ago.

Truly huge-
Now that would be news I would like to learn and hear about.
Instead the news is full of BS all engineered to make me think and act a certain way and contains “zero” actionable information.

2600 light years? Pffft! A hop, skip and jump. I live on The Jersey Shore. On some moonless nights I can see The Andromeda Galaxy and that thing is 2 million, 300 hundred thousand light years away.

Betelgeuse, Deneb, and a few others all seem to get the distinction of being the most massive. In comparison our star is a shrimp. Some theories suggest that Betelgeuse went supernova a long time ago.

It’s been off gassing for ten years. From what I was told when it does go supernova it will light up your yard, like the brightest full moon you’ve ever seen, for weeks.

Those are only Stars that we know of.
As I like to say, we will never know as much as we don’t know.

The other day, Dinesh D’Souza called her mayor Beetlejuice in one of his YouTube videos. Hilarious!

Read a newspaper upon a moonless night by the blue glow of the supernova. Should be visible in the daytime sky for several weeks, allowing that it happens in the right time of the year—SN 1054.

Betelgeuse itself apparently coughed up the cloud.
It coughed up a fur ball.
