It's 640 light years away (give or take).
Would the neutrinos affect us at all? Is this another doomsday scenario?
I would imagine that it'd be hellishly bright in the night sky.
What does science say about it? I'm rusty on my astronomy, but it'd be awesome to see.
It will be bright enough to read by at night when it does go. The neutrinos may cause an increase in cancer rates, but humanity would survive just as we always have. Depending on how long it lasts we will likely see some climate change. But again, life will go on
The neutrinos may cause an increase in cancer rates...
The neutrinos [wikipedia.org] will do no such thing.
Lets be thankful that the ozone layer would get a well needed boost, considering what we have done to it. And the auroras would be fantastic, once particles start to arrive.
Dreams are free, but you get soaked on the connect time.
