JSON Baumgartner@jasonbaumgartneVenus has an apparent magnitude of ~ -4.4. #Betelgeuse going super nova would probably get to around ~ -12.4 apparent magnitude. Imagine looking at Venus in the sky but it was over 1,500x brighter. That's how bright Betelgeuse would appear.7:46 AM · Dec 23, 2019·Twitter Web App1 Quote Tweet3 Likes
