Experiment: Simulation of A Nuclear Blast

If Betelgeuse does go supernova, what would it look like? The star is around 600 light years away. Following an explosion, we first would detect a rain of massless particles called neutrinos, which would be harmless to us. After that, the star would quickly brighten. Betelgeuse is far enough away not to pose a direct danger to life on Earth, but for weeks it would burn very intensely in the sky; about as bright as the full Moon and easily visible during the day. #fyp #foryoupage #foryou #Mercury
