I expect that the star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion will erupt into a spectacular supernova sometime soon (soon in galactic terms which could be anytime between now and 10000 years from now). If it did it would be 100 times the brightness of the full moon.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glittering in the dark by the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." -Blade Runner- :-)

Thanks for quoting my all-time favorite movie line.

I don't know why that line struck such a deep and memorable chord; Rutger Hauer was pure magic when he spoke it.
