Lots of conjecture and unknowns here. Still interesting, enjoy!

The production of nitrous oxides in Earth's atmosphere by the supernova's gamma rays would completely destroy the ozone layer if the supernova went off within 1,000 parsecs. I'm sure the EPA will get right on this.

It could have already. Yep, could have happened back in our stone age and we still wouldn't know it.

More likely Betelgeuse will go nova first. Red supergiant star about 600 light years away that is already seen to apparently commence its collapse into itself.
Meaning it really is in the realm of possibility to see it in our lifetimes, and more dramatically in 2012.

^00 light years is a hell of a lot safer for us the 3.24 light years....should be a show ether way....let's hope it's not the last one.

Watching the doomsday crap on the History Channel the other day and one of their predictions was that a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy would become active in 2012. They omitted the fact that it would be hundreds of thousands of years before we were affected by it if we were to be affected at all.

More likely Betelgeuse will go nova first. Luckily all we have to do is say its name 3 times and it will stop.

OK...it’s 3,260 light years away not 3.26 light years...I had to re-read that....

If it does we won't see it until the year 5,272.
Whatever we see at that distance already happened 3,260 years ago.

I thought the common theory was that super massive black holes are what forms our galaxy (as well as most others)....

Nobody understands why it is has stopped its thermonuclear explosions
Global Warming!

Wrong! That’s the date when the X and Gamma rays from the T-Pyxdis Type 1a supernova will hit Earth, and the planet Nibaru will return to intersect Earth’s orbit. All in all a fun day!
At least Zero’s second rein will be short...

What's all this T Pyxidis nonsense? I would bet you if you searched the International Star Registry you would find its REAL name to be Janet Jones My Sweet Pookie-poo or something like that
