Exactly how do you mean “we?” People here, now, today?

I’m worried about how I’m going to pay this month’s bills. I’ll lose sleep over the potential explosion of Betelguse later.

I would guess that anyone near it would get Betelguts all over them.

Interesting factoid. Our modest Sun would be invisible to the naked
human eye from the vicinity of Beta Orionis (same star, less ridiculous and Michael Keaton-invoking name).
In fact, that horizon is only about fifty light years out, a very small distance, relatively speaking.

It exploded 399 years ago, stick around a few years and watch it when it gets here.

What happens is that we first get a big burst of Neutrinos (those detectors are gonna go wild...as far as neutrino detectors can go wild ).
It might get as bright as the article says and it will probably stay bright for a while, then Orion won’t look the same any more.
At a guess, the gas clouds in the area (Barnard’s loop and the like) will get blown away.
I’m waiting for Eta Carina to go myself. That could happen tomorrow for all we know.

The big worry is if Betelgeuse does explode and we finally see the supernova explosion, it could be accompanied by a HUGE burst of potentially deadly radiation--especially gamma rays. And that right there will essentially eliminate all life on Earth not living deep underground, effectively resetting the life cycle of evolution (one wonders if the massive die-off in life around 250 million years ago was caused by a nearby star exploding and showering the Earth's surface with deadly gamma rays).

If Betelgeuse exploded today, our descendants would see it in about 400 years, provided we have not become extinct by then. If we saw Betelgeuse explode today, that means it blew up 400 years ago.

It goes BOOM! Okay, not really. No sound in space. But if there was, it’d be a really big BOOM!
