If that nearer star, named Eta Carinae, blows up like the one just discovered, they said, it could possibly spew dangerous radiation in Earth's direction. More likely, however, it would erupt into the most luminous star in our sky -- visible during the day and bright enough to let people read unaided at night.[/quote]
Hmmm, it could bathe us in a dangerous, MYSTERY radiation eh? I'm thinking Night of the Living Dead. Better stock up on this critical survival guide.
