Daylight Savings does nothing to add or remove sunlight from crops. Simply offsetting our house clocks doesn't alter the course of the sun.
Glennage said:So the really lucky folks (for whom Betelgeuse is only visible at night) will get 24 hour days, everybody else will get at least some time with two suns in the sky. The extra hour of light from daylight savings time won't burn the crops, but this might. Probably, all we'll get is visible light (not gamma rays or X-rays), so it shouldn't be an ELE. It's sure going to freak everyone out, though...
It is difficult to predict the exact timing of a supernova event, but based on current observations, it is estimated that Betelgeuse could go supernova within the next 100,000 years.
No, Betelgeuse is located approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth, which is too far to cause any significant impact on our planet.
Betelgeuse's supernova is expected to be one of the brightest events in the night sky, potentially even visible during the day. It is estimated to be as bright as the full moon and could last for several weeks before fading.
After the supernova, Betelgeuse will likely become a neutron star or a black hole. This will depend on the mass of the star and the amount of material expelled during the explosion.
No, there is no danger in studying Betelgeuse's supernova. Scientists have been closely monitoring the star and have not detected any signs of imminent danger. Additionally, the distance between Earth and Betelgeuse provides a safe buffer from any potential hazards.
