Uh...what level of Sun protection do we need if a super nova goes off that close?Guess I better see if I have insurance coverage as well.

The problem with being within a couple of hundred light years of a Supernova, is that you're in range of a VERY significant initial gamma radiation pulse. Sufficient to sterilize a planet. And following the initial pulse, high-speed gases, moving at significant fractions of the speed of light. Just the thing to rip the atmosphere off of a seared planet.

SPF 45,000,000,000,000 may suffice.
