But it's not going to hurt us. Betelgeuse is the shoulder of Orion, a red giant sitting about 500 light years away. It's huge ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

New research suggests that powerful star explosions, called supernovae, may have caused at least two mass extinctions in ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova ...

The odds that Betelgeuse is preparing to blow its top still appear very slim, and it’s highly unlikely we’re about to witness the supergiant go full supernova anytime soon. Still, until anyone ...

about one supernova happens every 400 million years within close enough vicinity to Earth that its radiation could impact the atmosphere. The nearest stars that could blow within the next million ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova ...

The red supergiant star Betelgeuse was captured by the Herschel Space Observatory. There are only two nearby stars that could go supernova within the next million years or so: Antares and Betelgeuse.

but the good news is there are only two nearby stars that could go supernova within the next million years or so: Antares and Betelgeuse. However, both of these are more than 500 light-years away ...
