<div dir="ltr"><div>That is cool. Even cooler would be when Betelgeuse goes supernova, and that could happen tomorrow or in a million years and it's only 643 light years away verses 11,400,000 for this one. Of course Betelgeuse wouldn't be a Type 1a supernova but a core collapse Type 2.  Cooler still will be when Eta Carinea blows up, it's 7500 light years away but when it blows it will probably be a photon pair instability style Hypernova. That would really be something to see!<br>
