@m4a1bitch No, nothing like that would happen, it's too far away. It would just become extremely bright. Possibly as bright as the full moon and visible during the day.
@m4a1bitch We don't know that. It may have already happened! In which case it's entirely possible we'll get to see it during our lifetime. You're right that it's not likely though.
I think the top rated comment and all those silly people who gave it thumbs up meant lets hope Betelgeuse went supernova ~640 years ago... unless they are planning on living another six or seven hundred years.
@TheChoppergunner100 It's about one and a half times as wide as Betelgeuse. It's bigger, but I'm not sure if I'd call that wayyyyyyy bigger. It's the same order of magnitude.
Note that I made this video because Betelgeuse was in the news, not because it was supposedly the largest known star in the universe (which is indeed VY Canis Majoris).
In regards to what bigmouth just said all those who believe that are stupid! First it wouldn't be possible to land on the surface of gas... And the heat is so intense it would destroy anything, it is so far away that if they sent any living thing that thing would die long before these imaginary space crafts reached this (not as big as the video at all) star
NASA has landed two exploration crafton the surface of Betelgeuse. The space craft is covered in asbestos so is not affected by the star's temperature. NASA s planning to send a dog and a canary to Big BOy Beetlejuice soon, hopefully with the Obamas, after Dorkface gets kicked out oj his ass later this year.
scientist keep saying that Betelgeuse will blow any current day (theorist say it will blow 2012).. Well, when Betelgeuse blows, we want know for at least 600 years. So if it explodes 2012, we want even know until over 600 years later, since the light from the explosion ( fastest matter in our universe) will take at least 600 years to be seen by Hubble, and Hubble will be in a history book...

@dirtyyyminds not quite. if VY Canis Majoris was our sun, its radius, not diameter, would stretch out as far as saturn and we would be about 2/3 inside the star
apparently its ment to go supernova within the next 1000 years. even from such a distance of 650LY it we would have constant daytime for w while. literally would be 2 suns in the sky. epic.
as a child i always said this one was "my star".. well its turns out to be such a cool star!! now i look at it always hoping to blow up! no sure if its posible but i dont care really..
@RSHA4b4 It's not a good idea to try to insult people if you don't speak the language very well. It makes you look dumb.
Volume is not the only way to measure size. I happen to think it is not a very useful measure of a star's size. I think intuitively people would look at a star with twice the diameter as being "twice the size", so diameter is the most useful measure for comparing sizes of stars. That's why the video compares the diameter of Betelgeuse to the diameters of the planets' orbits.
@RSHA4b4 I haven't confounded anything. Perhaps you are making unwarranted assumptions about which measure I'm talking about? Betelgeuse's diameter is 2100 million km., VY Canis Majoris' diameter is 3200 million km.. 3200 / 2100 = 1.5.
@bongo44100 Dude what cave have you been living in not knowing Also Sprach Zarathrustra. Even if you are not a fan of classical music, everyone and their mother has seen Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Oddyssey film classic and even if you have not seen that, Elvis Presley, probably the most famous singer than has ever lived, used that music as the opening number in all of his live shows.
How did someone film this from so far out in space without getting burned by the beetlejuice? The film itslef would've melted and the camera guy would've got a really bad sunburn. This video is fake.
It might have already gone supernova, but its over 600 lightyears away, so when we look up at Betelguese we see it how it was when William Wallace was around(ish). I hope we see it in our lifetime, apparently its luminosity has dropped by 15% in the last decade, a sign than its close to going boom!
@Phoenix1664 I agree, as Betelguese is somewhere from 600 - 700 light years away so there is the very likely possiblity that it has gone supernova - where all just waitng for the brief moment where we will see it.
@AuntMartha The only way we would be able to see the explosion of this planet in our lifetime (the next 50 years), is if the explosion happened over 400 years ago, because the planet is located 450+ Light Years away, so from the moment the planet exploded it would take 450 Light Years for the light to get here.
@Cappadoccia04 Obviously the *location* of Betelgeuse is not realistic in this video. It is not actually located inside our solar system; I don't think our solar system would exist any more if it did.
In reality it is 650 light years away, but it would have been hard to compare sizes if I had rendered the distance to scale... ;-)
@CaptainChaos ''I don't think our solar system would exist any more if it did.'' YOU THINK?!?! really i know that the solar system wouldn't exist anymore - LOL
