This is a red SUPERgiant by the way, it will make Supernova 1054 pale by comparison. SN1054 could be seen during the daytime and cast shadows at night.

If Betelguese had the same absolute magnitude its aparent magnitude would be about -11 due to it being about one tenth the distance away. That is almost as bright as the full moon.

We first knew it as the "Crab Nebulae"
