Interesting. I would be trying to figure out if the gamma burst will do anything to our satellites or us. Highly doubt it due to the great distance but you never know.

"DON'T PANIC! BETELGEUSE WON'T EXPLODE IN 2012"
http://news.discovery.com/space/dont-pa ... -2012.html
"But what's all this fuss about the star exploding by 2012? That's complete garbage. There is absolutely no indication that the star will explode in the next year or so. Even the most advanced telescopes and sophisticated computer models cannot predict an exploding star with that precision!
By the article's own admission, the supernova might not happen for a million years -- begging the question as to why a half-baked 2012 Betelgeuse doomsday theory is even being mentioned."
1x10^6 odds for Tatooine.

As a kid, I learned that gamma bursts turn us into Lou Ferrigno.

Damn... GlockLobster posted while I was writing this... :weep: I was looking forward to looking like Lou Ferrigno. :hmmm: But then my wife would also look like Lou Ferrigno. :sick:
