The year 2012 will most likely not see Planet Earth having two suns

Reports are emerging that the earth might have 2 suns in 2012. There is a very large star that will go supernova when it dies, and it’s getting towards the end of its life. The star is too remote to know when it will go supernova, and the Earth is well out of the line of fire. Post resource – Do not expect Earth to have two suns in 2012 by Newsytype.com.

The chance that two suns could be for the Earth

There may be 24 hours of daylight for 2 weeks according to a rumor going around. The Daily Mail explains this rumor states Earth can have 2 suns. Signs of a supernova are being seen by a star within the Orion constellation. The star, called Betelgeuse (pronounced beetle juice) is a red supergiant and is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. A supernova might be occurring in the near future which goes along with the 2012 year. This is what Brad Carter, an Australian astrophysicist at the University of southern Queensland, said.

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse

If our sun were changed with Betelgeuse, it would take up so much room that Jupiter would be close to its surface. Because of the mass and energy, the star could not just disappear. This is just like other stars that have become supernovas instead. The core of a star in supernova collapses into itself, triggering a perpetual state of collapse due to the enormous mass and gravity included, and becomes a black hole. However, because Betelgeuse is about 600 light years away, in accordance with CBS, there is minimal chance much of its light could be seen from Earth when it goes supernova.

2012 being included

Many are worried about 2012 since the Mayan Calendar ends that year. Mayan scholars don't think anything of it. Conspiracy theorists are going to have to find another explanation for 2012. Betelgeuse won't do anything to Planet Earth being 600 light years away.
