Will the earth be kill when betelgeuse goes supernova?

Part of me is sure this is meant as a joke, but the rest of me knows that it isn't simply because of how fucking stupid it is. The Dumber, The Better is the rule nowadays.

10,000 - 10,000 years

Only the side of Earth facing it.

*10,000 - 100,000 years

Realistically, how big would it be in the night sky, what would we see and for how long would it be visible for? Naked eye, binoculars or telescopes only?

unfortunately not

No, Betelgeuse is too far away

It's very likely we'd see it with the naked eye. Kepler's Supernova was seen in 1604 and could be seen with the naked eye for roughly 3 weeks at a distance of roughly 20k lightyears. Betelgeuse is roughly 640, so we'd defo see it and it would be very bright.

640 light years means 640 years for the light to get here.

Betelgeuse could have went supernova in 1400BC and we still wouldn't even know it.

That's so weird, how long it takes, even fore light to reach us.

This reality is freaky man,

you mean 1400AD?

1400CE

>god fag

Isn't it? Shit like that really drives the point home how fucking incomprehensibly VAST space is. I mean 1400s.

The Siege of Constantinople, the Spanish Reconquista, The Hundred Years War. All this shit happened so long ago it feels like a fairytale, but this star could've gone boom at that time we might not even be alive to see it happening from here.

Fucking love this shit.

I actually kekd, the fuck is wrong with me.

Yeah any supernova we ever see from Earth will have happened in the past, most distant stuff we see in the sky is in the past. Even most star locations when you look up at the night sky, they aren't there anymore. They've moved on to somewhere else in the galaxy. The whole thing is a lie, I for one, welcome our Reptilian overlords.
yes my bad, 1400AD

the light from our sun takes 8 minutes to get to earth, so if you look at the sun, you are actually only seeing it where it was 8 minutes ago.

You may already know this, but I like how it blows peoples minds (still blows mine as well).

Light takes approximately 20,000 years before it even LEAVES our Sun. There is so much inside the Sun that light particles are constantly bouncing off and sent in other directions. It takes 20k years just for light to escape the Sun and then a further 8 minutes for it to reach Earth once it has.

Wouldn't it be a hypernova? Isn't Betelgeuse one of the largest stars?

>serbianfag here

i wanted to write this at first. what is more common in english? BCE/CE or BC/AD?

The light in our sun takes hundreds of thousand of years to get to the surface.

seconded.

>God Fag

It is, but it won't go Hypernova.

>I welcome our reptillian overlords
What a good little goy. When the human race is culled we will make sure that you survive. There's nothing better than a loyal slave.

Definitely BC/AD

how do you even pronounce this shit? beetle-geez?

BCE / CE is catching on slowly in the progressive parts of the world. once the old schoolers all die out it will rule.

less so in america where everyone actually believes in C and other assorted fairy tales

>im sure you're just pretending to be this stupid

Still BC/AD
BCE/CE is getting more common thanks to it being used in news stories all the time now, but everyone knows what you're talking about when you use BC/AD.

yup

groovie

In the United States, we use the founding of our country as the starting date. so it's currently the year 240 A.I.

hope it dying will be fun then, like lollercaust

Don't know if it's a joke or not, but this is a bit closer to the correct pronunciation than Beetle Juice

It's bible prophecy for humans to end all religion.

So the way i view it... it's a win - win.

>Religion falls

>And God comes or doesn't come

and we lived all happily ever after

>correct pronunciation
beetle geese

Using AD or BC does not denote belief in anything, it's the standard form of measure and so we use it for that reason alone. If someone wants to make it his life's mission to change those few letters because he is butthurt and science dgaf then they'll switch to that without hesitation. They are arbitrary letters that rustle the edgelord's jimmies, nothing more.

apathy is the downfall of civilisation

and yours is on a crash course.

china pwns j00... but thats because they have a fire in their belly and you are just a fucking country full of appeaseniks

BC/AD. BCE and CE are "politically correct". It's honestly pointless imo, this is a good case of "if its not broke then dont fix it".

Find me one person who can give a good argument for dropping BC/AD without sounding like a fedora tipping faggot. Good luck.

No.

Woa getting creative with words user?

better step back from this one guys.

It could potentially cause problems for the Earth, but it won't likely totally wipe us out. Not directly at least. The damage it is most likely able to do is disrupt shit within our solar system, or nearby ones. It's possible that more asteroids or comets could get flung inward towards us. Even less likely is that planet sized bodies could have their orbits disrupted--it's believed that there is an actual 9th planet (about 10 times the mass of the Earth) far out in our solar system, that likely was originally part of another system altogether, and would have gotten there through some catastrophic event like this.

The most interesting thing about it, and possibly the scariest, is that it may have already gone supernova. We wouldn't know for 642.5 years afterward.

american dictionary?

its a french word. how about ask a frenchman how its pronounced rather than lecture to the world.

>You're*
Nice spelling faggot, might wanna finish pre-school before talking like you know something.

>the downfall of civilisation
So because scientists aren't as massively butthurt over the acronyms AD and BC as are teenage edgelords, that means the apocalyse is coming?

Honestly, that sounds just as bad as the christfags. kyspls

I can't tell if this is troll or if you're retarded. Either way, 10/10 for making me reply.

oh wow, a spelling flame.

typical american to avoid the issue and ad hominem your way through a debate.

you win.

nice try, but your trolling is a little too obvious. would you care to take another whack at it? im all ears ;)

To be honest, I thought the calendar reset in September 2001.

do you think jeezuzfags give a damn about things aside screwing nuns?

>Typical American

>Yet You're from America

Your try hard is showing.

i stand corrected. apparently your bait works just fine!

have another free pic so i can feel like im contributing something :D

...

GRB can't reach that far.

Nice bait.

To bad it wasn't bait, it was your Fedora comments that you truly felt needed to be spoken, there was never bait, only your failure.

lol'd

anyone who's been here for more than five minutes knows that Cred Forums is nothing but bad porn, obvious pedos, and trolls trolling trolls. im having fun acting like a retard to stranger on the internet xD

A star going hypernova has to do with weight, not size.

...

Related. Why do we sterilize spacecraft? I know the argument - we're preserving a perfectly unblemished space habitat. But on 99.999% of the planets we visit, there is going to be nothing. No bacteria, no spores, not one prion. Purely as a matter of statistics, in the interest of Life, would it not be better to seed those planets with well-managed microbial payloads? Good microbes, methane consumers, volcanic vent shit, CO2 acidophiles, etc.

I'm saying... having a rocky world covered in mosquitoes would be preferable to having absofuckinglutely nothing. At least the seed has been planted for time to evolve that basic thing, whereas near-destruction of Earth at this moment would destroy all known consciousness in the universe. We are its only way of looking at itself, thus, we have a primordial impetus to spread life of any kind, until we can spread our own more effectively.

lmao exactly! im glad this guy gets it too

When what goes supernova?

so what we gonna get some bright light in 7 years then?

Obviously

no we die in 4 years, so we won't see it

if we placed microbes on an alien planet and returned years later to colonize it we would die from what has evolved and our lack of immunity.

A sterile planet it far prefferable

>french word

typical Frenchie, thinks the whole universe revolves around them.

The name Betelgeuse, like the names of most of the stars in the sky, derives from Arabic.

We only have about a billion more years here, it's not going to evolve all THAT damned much.

While we would have a lack of immunity, it would not have evolved to prey on us, either. Co-evolution would be non-existent. Thus, it would likely have taken a form benign to us or perhaps even beneficial, oxygen-producing for example.

...

Jus means gravy in france you bitch

betelgeuse won't affect us for thousands of years morons

what does betle mean then swaglord?

and why do we die buddo

youde be amazed how much faster single celled organisms can evolve to prey on us compared to our immune systems

mind you by this time we better have bloody biological tech worked out well or we wont even survive the virus's on our own planet

It's showtime.
