Comment on What happens when Betelgeuse explodes?

Comments

"Betelgeuse is already one of the brightest stars in the night sky, sitting somewhere around the 8th or 9th brightest star in the night sky. (These lists don’t include the Sun, which is somewhat obviously always the brightest object in the sky.)"

A good point, although it is fairly rare to see the sun in the night sky these days.

Depending on your definition of "night sky", I would argue it's incredibly easy to see in the night sky!
