Interesting stuff. The star Beetlegeuse is now losing mass, meaning that it is now imploding, and a supernova explosion could happen at any time. If that happens, we will have 2 suns in our sky for a few weeks. The new sun would only be a little brighter than a full moon, but we would be plainly able to see it during the day. And no, don't listen to any naysayers. There would be no mass extinction on earth. We would be showered with harmless neutrinos, and we go about our daily business as usual. When they say that the supernova could happen at any time, it could mean tomorrow, or it could mean as many as 500 years from now. But it's going to happen. I hope it's tomorrow so that I can see this spectacular display before I croak. LOL.
