Betelgeuse Supernova?

[Trajan]

good question....

 

[konradv]

fuck, there goes Orion, his right shoulder, gone. ......they gonna rename it?

Who's gonna update the star maps?

Probably these guys.

Everyone I asked had a different opinion. What I discovered as a scientist was that the only way that I would know what 2012 was all about was to understand the people who created the calendars that tell us about 2012. And the only way to understand them was to understand great cycles of time.

Q: What do you mean when you say, “cycles of time?”

Braden: Science now is telling us that we, on this planet, our lives, and our planet in general, are under the influence of great cycles of time; cycles within cycles, within cycles. Some of the cycles we know about, like the 24-hour cycle of the day for day and night, or the 28-days of a woman’s cycle. But the great cycles cover such vast periods of time that we don’t remember them from one civilization to the next. Our present great cycle is a 5,125-year-long cycle linked to an astronomical event that occurred in the year 3114 B.C.

Q: Now, that’s almost incomprehensible for people—3114 B.C.

Braden: It ends on December 21, the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012 A.D.

Q: And in that moment or on that day, the sun, you say, is going to move into an alignment with the equator of the Milky Way.

Braden: What happens during this time—and we have to be really careful when we talk about this—there is an alignment that’s occurring because Earth does this little tip and this little wobble over long periods of time. As Earth changes — tips and wobbles in its orbit, it changes the scenery of the night sky. It changes our orientation in space with respect to the center of our own Milky Way galaxy.

Scientists have discovered—and they are publishing this openly—that the center of our Milky Way galaxy is a very powerful source of magnetic energy. The term they use is “magnetic filiments” that radiate from the center of our Milky Way. Where we are, in relation to that source of energy, has a huge effect on planet Earth. Sometimes we’re further away, and we’re tilted away from it, and the effect is less. Sometimes we’re closer or we’re tilted toward it, and the effect is greater.

On December 21st in the year 2012, we have a straight shot—a linear shot, unobstructed by any other planets or any other bodies in the solar system–where we have direct access to that field of energy.

Is There Science Behind 2012 Prophecies?

Its coming explosion in a Super-nova is not imminent except on an astronomical time scale. Yes it might explode any day now, and that has been the case for many many millenia, but it might not explode for another 100,000 years. This is a case of wishful thinking.

The December 21, 2012 winter solstice cycle of time projection and the projected betelgeuse supernova explosion are two separate astronomical events.

Although, who knows...The timing of that eventful solstice could be the triggering event that causes the supernova to burst, which would be pretty wild!

Any and all of these galactic and planetary alignments are beyond insignificant

Galactic Guessing Games

Fast-forward to 1995. That year John Major Jenkins packaged several of these themes into Maya Cosmogenesis 2012. According to Jenkins, the winter-solstice point and the centerline of the Galaxy will line up exactly on Dec. 21. Arguing that this motivated the Maya to contrive the calendar to end on that date, Jenkins concludes that it will be "a tremendous transformation and opportunity for spiritual growth, a transition from one world age to another."

In fact, astronomy cannot pinpoint such a "galactic alignment" to within a year, much less a day. The alignment depends on the rather arbitrary modern definition of the galactic equator, and/or the visual appearance of the Milky Way. There is no precise definition of the Milky Way's edges -- they are very vague and depend on the clarity of your view. (Jenkins says that he personally established the Milky Way’s edges by viewing it from 11,000 feet, far above anywhere the Maya lived.) So to give a precise visual position for its centerline is not meaningful.

Jenkins did acknowledge that the winter-solstice Sun actually crosses the center of the Milky Way anytime between 1980 and 2016. Elsewhere he expands this approach zone to a 900-year period, and settles for an imprecise alignment to which Dec. 21, 2012, is arbitrarily and circularly assigned. Real astronomy does not support any match between the Baktun-13 end date and a galactic alignment. The advocates both admit and ignore this discrepancy.

Seems like if it is that beright some radiation might be an issue?

Looks like he needs a supernatural toof alignment.

well , it could have exploded already, the event has just not reached us yet, 6.4 years ago....give it take a month or so do to refraction etc.

It is always understood that we will not perceive an astronomical event has taken place until its light signal arrives.

But we are only also seeing signals reporting changes that indicate something may be about to happen with an equal delay. All other things being equal, that time delay matters little unless information about it or from it is useful in learning previously unknown facts like distance, or correlations of time with long ago events like the creation of the universe, connected events across great stellar distances, etc.

6.4 years? I've seen estimates of its distance from 430-640 light years away. So, if it's already exploded, that happened much longer ago.

Ever hear of Gamma Ray Bursters?

If one of their radiation beams hits us we will be all dead really quick.

Ever hear of Gamma Ray Bursters?

If one of their radiation beams hits us we will be all dead really quick.

They are so narrowly focused, and directional and space so immense that a planet like our own could exist until it began to evaporate and never be struck by one.

However the risk from one of those is greater than the original premis, that the alignment of the galaxy's magnetic field, the sun or earth in its cycles may have some disastrous affect on earth or the solar system.

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs are among the most energetic phenomena astronomers regulary observe. These events are triggered by massive explosions and a large amount of the energy if focused into narrow beams that sweep across the universe. These beams are so tightly concentrated that they can be seen across the visible universe and allow astronomers to probe the universe’s history. If such an event happened in our galaxy and we stood in the path of the beam, the effects would be pronounced and may lead to large extinctions. Yet one of the most energetic GRBs on record (GRB 080607) was shrouded in cloud of gas and dust dimming the blast by a factor of 20 – 200, depending on the wavelength. Despite this strong veil, the GRB was still bright enough to be detected by small optical telescopes for over an hour.

We are a group of Portuguese students looking for specific information about supernova, such as:

-Who found/ discovered that;
-Where i t is in relation to earth and the Sun its dimension;
-Can it be dangerous to, mankind in a mean future?
-Is it a real star or just a common phenomenon in tears of a galaxy?

We would really appreciate your valuable help. Can you do that, PLEASE?
