I remember the SUN. Page 2 is the only page that was worth it IMO. I remember one week they wrote that a B42 bomber crash site was found on the moon. Then the following week that Hitler's skeleton was amongst the wreckage
Isn't page 3 the only worthwhile page in a UK tabloid?
According to einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so we would see the light before the blast hits us...
So we see the light of the blast, scientists calculate when the shock wave will hit, everyone on the side of the planet facing the star at that time evacuates to the other side of the planet. Then the shock wave actually hits and the scientists realise they calculated in metric not imperial, so the shock wave hits the site of the planet populated by 100% of eaerthlings. We all die. Oh well, that'll teach us.

Isn't that what happened to the First Mars Lander incident? Forgetting to change the units??
I'm up for a bit of panic-inciting, a soupcon of looting, perhaps some pillaging and a touch of pre-apocolypse vandalism, followed by a nice cup of tea.
Anyone with me?
Sounds just about right for a Friday afternoons entertainment. (I've got nothing on tomorrow arv)

On the serious side.....when will it explode?
Are scientists expecting a near human time of a SN?
IE days, months, years or decades ( or deca decades)?
I've read that it has produced SN 'burps' at a rate of roughly 20 years apart. The last one in 1967. None since. So its over due......Could that mean a Large outburst? soon....
Also read that it could be 10 million years.
Has there been any scientific data from other predicted SN's that has been wrong ( ie sooner than expected)?
I also have to ask for some info on whether it is close enough to effect us I would not have a clue but it sounds like a long way away 3,260 light-years is that to close I don't know how far from a supernova you have to be to be safe please enlighten me.
K, I understand that nutink can be done.
But it would be cool to know WHEN we can do nutink about it.....
I would love to take pics of the event and save them to a SSD, lock it up in some Titanium ( or whatever at the time is the strongest material to resist all radiation etc) strong box, and send it to the nearest exo-planet that might support life+ some DNA so maybe we can continue somewhere somehow
whoa, hang on a minute does that mean that the SN star is 3.5 light DAYS away from our solar system that means that its in OUR SOLAR SYSTEM!!! Unless by some means the explosion can go way faster than the speed of light. (a SN with Warp capability!! )
..and it more so means that a lethal dose of radiation for unshielded humans( outside of the earths atmosphere) from the gamma/xray outburst would be 3.5 days of constant exposure.
