would kinda suck if some alien civilization somewhere was gonna get owned by this :\


Statistically, the odds are this has happened many times since the beginning of time.

So you can see just how big Betelgeuse is compared to our sun. Luckily its not aimed towards out solar system, 'cause if there was a gamma ray burst it would obliterate the Earth. It might do that.. just not hit us.
