Eta Carinae ? - but, reassuringly, it turns out that there are no dangerous stars nearby :<br />http://earthsky.org/space/will-a-nearby-supernova-harm-life-on-earth-in-2012-nah<br /><br />Though, as the article says, if a supernova _did_ go off very nearby, it would certainly be a bad thing. The article does a better job of explaining how and why, but in a nutshell, a supernova shines (very briefly) as brightly as all the stars in our galaxy, combined. An explosion as bright as a hundred billion Suns... well, you can imagine why that would be a problem !Rhysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219113442790412792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-33186786469005937262013-03-25T23:16:40.301-04:002013-03-25T23:16:40.301-04:00Excellent post.

This is exponentially scarier, although arguably you'd live 'longer' in Jupiter.<br /><br />Quick question: I remember reading somewhere there could be a supernova soon from a relatively close star in this galaxy. If that happens, can you explain how and why it possible for a star lightyears away to 'cook' our planet?Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355177642162236274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-14793908859994970692013-03-25T19:45:44.587-04:002013-03-25T19:45:44.587-04:00Thanks !

Saturn becomes more than hot enough to melt lead, while Uranus and Neptune are both well above the boiling point of water.<br /><br />Anonymous (1) : That's the semi-major axis, but there's not a vast variation - it would never get anywhere near emerging from the "surface" of the star.<br /><br />Anonymous (2) : Very interesting. I guess I should probably emphasise that there's considerable uncertainty in estimating the size, by a factor of a few... it could be as "small" as only 600 solar diameters across, or as large as 2000.<br /><br />And to whoever linked this on Reddit - thanks !<br />Rhysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219113442790412792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-27383343808317471802013-03-25T14:14:48.195-04:002013-03-25T14:14:48.195-04:00I'm just going to leave this here: http://en.w...I'm just going to leave this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NML_CygniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-35524964664626269702013-03-25T13:51:24.684-04:002013-03-25T13:51:24.684-04:00When you say Jupiter would be located 70 million m...When you say Jupiter would be located 70 million miles below the surface, are speaking with respect to its semi-major axis, perihelion, or aphelion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-28000277596325742822013-03-25T12:14:31.497-04:002013-03-25T12:14:31.497-04:00Very nicely done.
