Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk(*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.

Supernova Betelgeuse. The best current estimate of the distance from Earth to the red supergiant. Betelgeuse is about 600 light-years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it would be one of the brightest stars in the sky. Right now, the brightest star other than the Sun is Sirius, with a luminosity of 26 L S u n and a distance of 8.6 light-years. How much brighter in our sky than Sirius would the Betelgeuse supernova be if reached a maximum luminosity of 10 10 L S u n ?
