An artist's impression of the supernova that caused the "BOAT," the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded.

The supernova, named SN 2023ixf, is located 21 million light-years away. It should remain visible with the aid of a telescope for at least a few months, astronomers said.

Betelgeuse, a bright red star in Orion, is exhibiting unexpected behavior that could lead to a supernova and neutrino rain on Earth.

A telescope happened to be pointing at the brightest supernova yet observed The BOAT—brightest of all time—reveals the mechanics of gamma-ray bursts.

One thing's for sure: If Betelgeuse does blow, it will be the brightest supernova ever witnessed by humans. Just how bright are we talking? Could you see it during the day? Would it be dangerous?
