The star Betelgeuse going supernova soon?


The challenge now becomes to try to keep this thread alive until it actually does go supernova! (as in, we see it go supernova).

So the really lucky folks (for whom Betelgeuse is only visible at night) will get 24 hour days, everybody else will get at least some time with two suns in the sky. The extra hour of light from daylight savings time won't burn the crops, but this might. Probably, all we'll get is visible light (not gamma rays or X-rays), so it shouldn't be an ELE. It's sure gonna freak everyone out, though.....
Daylight Savings does nothing to add or remove sunlight from crops. Simply offsetting our house clocks doesn't alter the course of the sun.
