Thats awesome! Thanks for the link. I wonder how bright it will shine at night...

Dont know how bright it will be, but I have my telescope packed and ready for the field when it happens. Just hope it lets loose on a clear night...

quote from article.

said Dr Garik Israelian of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias in Spain.


so since this guys last name is Israelian do you think that the arab astonomers are gonna believe any of this?


anyway it should be a good show, beers on Rho Cassiopeiae.

I wonder how bright we will shine at night, being exposed to all those cosmic rays.

I hope this star does explode before too long. Hopefully no alien species will be in its path or they will have a nice unplanned barbeque. I don't know how far away it is, but lets hope the blast path or black hole that comes from this thing won't eat us alive. If it does, we'll have answered a lot of questions in astronomy in a short amount of time . If it is big enough, we might be able to see it with the naked eye during the daylight hours... who knows.
