Dr Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer in Physics University of Southern Queensland, says openly that soon we will see a kind of second sun in the sky. It's a matter of weeks. Returning to the previous reports and this time, adding the team's observations of Dr. Carter's work, we know that the Red supergiant Betlegeuse already entered the phase explosion as the shock wave from the supernova at its peak could reach process Earth sometime before 2012, and when it does, we will see two suns in the sky and in the images from the film Star Wars.
So far our civilization has not had the opportunity to see an event of this kind, although there is evidence indicating that in the past this has already happened, the Iridium and other compounds detected in subsurface layers.
When we see the explosion, will be incredible shine for a brief period of time a few days or maybe weeks, and then will decline sharply and will disappear, "says Dr. Carter.
Fortunately, the star is in the safety margin above which emissions will not have catastrophic effects on our civilization. It is estimated that the safety margin is 100 light years away, and remember Betlegeuse giant that is at a distance of approximately 500-600 years light and steady approach. This means that we are seeing now an event that already happened hundreds of years ago.
