[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 8697217, member: 67454"] EDIT: but the process of becoming a black hole, via a supernova, would be problematic for us. But the hole itself, just sitting there where Betelgeuse used to be, no problem. JS Nothing at all, is the impact it would have on us if Betelgeuse became a black hole. There is already something there as massive as Betelgeuse: Betelgeuse. Any black hole that develops will be starting out very small, and with _less_ mass than Betelgeuse currently has because large quantities of mass are lost when stars go through these changes. Now what would be nifty would be if the hole just happened to have its gravitational focus right here where we could use it as God's own Barlow lens (a lens telescopes use to magnify images, for those who don't know). But that is about it, and kind of unlikely that it would be perfectly focused where we could use it. Jim Snover [/QUOTE]
