Betelgeuse is already one of the brightest stars in the night sky, sitting somewhere around the 8th or 9th brightest star in the night sky. (These lists don’t include the Sun, which is somewhat obviously always the brightest object in the sky.)

Why would any list of brightest objects in the night sky include the sun?

Well, if it blows today, it will hit us in 2415, or just in time to prevent the Mariners from winning their first World Series.

Betelgeuse is a freaking huge star. If you plopped it into the solar system in place of the sun, the Earth would be inside the star.
