Stargazing Will the supernova explosion of Betelgeuse influence the Earth?

AI Thread Summary
The supernova explosion of Betelgeuse is unlikely to significantly impact Earth's climate or temperature, despite its potential brightness comparable to the full moon. While there may be a brief burst of high-energy particles, the primary concern lies with gamma-ray bursts, which pose a greater threat. Betelgeuse is approximately 550 light years away, and its explosion could reach a visual magnitude of around -12.4, lasting for weeks before dimming. The shock wave from the explosion is expected to arrive in about 6 million years, causing minimal effects on Earth but noticeable changes for distant colonies, such as those on Pluto. Overall, while Betelgeuse's supernova will be spectacular, its direct effects on Earth are minimal.

Will the supernova explosion of Betelgeuse influence the Earth's climate and temperature or even the sun in any significant way?

According to a previous post, Betelgeuse may appear as bright as the full moon. I calculated that this may produce a problem for your retina given direct staring but it seems unlikely that the added power of the full moon is going to do much. Perhaps there would be a short burst of high energy particles but it seems unlikely that this would be a problem. Its the gamma ray bursters that we need to be terrified of...
 
The distance is controversial. Around 550 light years. 3.47 x 10^7 astronomical units. It would be 1.2 x 10^15 brighter if it were blowing up at the sun.

Wikipedia has this nice chart comparing supernova intensities over time. At 168 parsec add 6.8 for visual magnitude. A -15.17 absolute magnitude source is 100 million times as bright as the sun (absolute mag 4.83). A few types peak at with a few points higher. Based on the chart we might see up to -11.3.

Based on this paper it will be a magnitude -12.4. That should last for a few weeks and dim down for a few months. They say the shock wave will get here in about 6 million years. That pushes back on the solar wind and reverses it until about 2.5 astronomical units. Not much effect on Earth but it would be quite noticeable on the Pluto colony. The bow shock lasts for about 1000 years so the ice giant colonies will pass through it multiple times. Comet tails would look funky.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
