Probably not. It takes 600 years for us to see it. That means it’s going to happen between now and 100000 years from now.

Not vastly different on a cosmic anyway. I was asking about when we see it. Because it would look cool.

I know about this, but can we see what elements a star that far away is burning? How does that work?

Betelgeuse’s supernova won’t be an extinction level event anyway

Well yeah. Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its lifespan. That’s why I asked.

Mars has a thin atmosphere. Would that also not mean a small amount of protection? (More than Lunar orbit)

What about Europa Clipper and Dragonfly? Are they launching on SLS?
