And the end of the world conspiracy theorists go wild! According to news report out of Australia:
The infamous red super-giant star in Orion’s nebula – Betelgeuse – is predicted to go gangbusters and the impending super-nova may reach Earth before 2012, and when it does, all of our wildest Star Wars dreams will come true. The second biggest star in the Orion constellation is losing mass, a typical indication that a gravitation collapse is occurring. When that happens, we’ll get our second sun, according to Dr Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland.
When this happens a giant explosion will occur, tens of millions of times brighter than the sun. The bad news is, it could also happen in a million years. But who’s counting? The important thing is, one day, night will become day for several weeks on Earth.

woohoo, can’t wait!
uuhm no. stars are fixed but the earth will still rotate, so while its possible to have the positions of the stars and the moon be like this 0-o-0 with 0 being stars and o being the earth if the set up is more like this 0-0-o there will be a normal day night cyclus
stars move, dummy. they aren’t fixed.
lol@digitalis. Daan9559 is right actually. The earth is also flat. 0-o-OMG who was your science teacher?
and even if they moved to create an everlasting day they would have to stay on the other side of the earth as the moon meaning it would have too travel insanely fast
this story is bullshit
man tell me when E.T going to show up to the public. I know Gov’t had contact with them but I was public to know.
