They toured Da Nang, Cam Ranh and Nha Trang. They probably could have had more success if the truck driver had understood the American MP yelling, “Don’t turn down that road! It’s a mine field!”

No one knows that it likely already is a supernova. It may not explode for thousands of years.

For us to see it in 2012 Betelgeuse would have had to gone off in about 1372 AD.
