The first thing that came to mind reading that was if there is no night for a few weeks, dont that mean fruit and vegetable production will dwindle. Cos if you think about it plants absorb CO2 during the day (so they'll do this 24 hours which is a good thing), but if there's no night, plants wont respire which they need to do to live. So without fruit and vegetables, we couldnt get meat, milk, bread.... Couldnt that be catastrophic? Plants respire all the time, it doesn't matter if its day or night. |

Now that I'm thinking about this more... If this star is 1300 light years away... Then how the  are we going to see it, when we can't even see Mars with the naked eye MOST of the time, and that's like, next door? I know that Super Novas are very bright, but I think that the assumption that it's going to be a "second sun" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We can see Mars with the naked eye at night. I can see Jupiter any time it's clear and Mars as well depending on the time of year. We can't see them during the day because they're not very bright. A supernova would be immensely bright. When our sun goes nova, the aliens on other planets will be able to see it. We'll see it for like 45 seconds. Then we'll all be dead. This may happen in 2012. |

Plants respire when there's no light, cos then they can't photosynthesise. So with increased light, they wouldn't respire as much as they need to |

And they are so far away it's not even funny. |

This supernova would be seen during the day though. During the day we only see one star currently.

I know that super novas are RIDICULOUSLY bright, but 1500 LIGHT YEARS away? If the sun is only 6 light MINUTES away... Think about that for a minute... |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Betelgeuse is actually only 640 light years away. |

"Back in my day we had TWO suns. I didn't hear anybody complaining." -All of us, at age 86. I lol'd. This would be amazing to experience, I know I would film so much stuff during it. But Kliquid does have a point. Wouldnt it take forever for the light to reach us? |
