[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16366969, member: 67454"] Yes, but it could be anytime between now and the next hundred million years. If I remember right, Big B is less than 1,000 light years away. So when it goes up it'll be a hell of a show. Some of my astronomer buddies say you'd have two shadows in the daytime: one from the sun, one from Betelgeuse. All but one think we'd be safe, and the one who says it might be dangerous says it would only be dangerous if it shoots out polar beams, and one of them happened to be pointed our way. Chances of that are pretty slim, because it would have to have been pointing where we are now, 1,000-odd years ago. In the meantime, it's going to be cool as anything to see what the Big B does as it becomes more unstable. One guy says its dimming because it is spitting out huge clouds of dust and gas. I'll keep giving it a look, when it's over the horizon, that's for certain. [/QUOTE]
