…Research published in the journal Nature Astronomy shows how WOH G64, a giant binary star system in the Large Magellanic Cloud, has recently undergone a striking transformation…
…researchers say they’ve examined more than 30 years of brightness measurements and found that the star, long classified as a cold, red supergiant, has become markedly hotter – by over 1,000°C – and now appears yellow rather than red…
This author claims the minimum safe distance from a supernova is about 160 light years.
WOH G64 is 160,000 light years away, so we’re probably fine.
