    The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova.It is located about 6,500 light-years from the Earth. [1]A near-Earth supernova is an explosion resulting from the death of a star that occurs close enough to the Earth (roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs [30 to 1000 light-years] away [2]) to have noticeable effects on Earth's biosphere.

  5. Betelgeuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betelgeuse

    As seen from Earth, Betelgeuse as a type IIP supernova would have a peak apparent magnitude somewhere in the range −8 to −12. [180] This would be easily visible in daylight, with a possible brightness up to a significant fraction of the full moon, though likely not exceeding it. This type of supernova would remain at roughly constant ...
