The Collapse

Click on the link to find further, albeit speculative information on the collapse of Betelgeuse and the impending supernova. This is going to be scarily bright:

"it could approach apparent magnitude -14, about 2.5 times brighter than the full Moon"

That's is going to be fun, if somewhat disturbing at the same time. I am waiting for the time when I wake up to a new dawn at 2 am!
