Also also ... if you placed WR102 where the sun is we'd all be vaporised for a different reason. My understanding is that it has already exploded as a supernova -- based on calculations that it will explode in the next 1500 years but it's about 9500 light years away, so if the calculations are correct then in fact it exploded about 8000 years ago but we just haven't seen the explosion yet

I’d just turn on the AC and stay indoors

does a similar dimming effect happen when stars go supernova too?

How far would we need to be in order to be in the “habitable zone”?

OK so my immediate thought is that means its possible for a planet to be in the goldilocks zone of such a star (or perhaps a less powerful one) and get barely any light but enough energy for liquid water/life. What would that look like?

is there a temperature at which matter does not exist anymore?

thylastpenguin :
"it would seem bright before you are vaporized" would we actually see anything before we are vaporized? or would we not perish before the light travels between our eyes and our brains? thinking about it we probably shouldn't do this one

goldie :
I remember from quantum physics (undergrad level) we learned that increasing temperature does not correspond to reductions in higher wavelength radiation but increases in higher wavelength radiation. white-hot metal is not less red than red-hot metal, it's just also more blue. so how could this star possibly produce less light in the visible spectrum?

can't compare the temperature in Celsius! though at that scale the 272 degrees don't matter much

how would the earth be 6500 degrees while the suns surface is 5500? is it because of our atmosphere and the greenhouse effect that creates this diff?

How far from this star Earth will need to be to be habitable and comfortable??

question how do you know the temperature of a very distant object?

At 1au your,re saying we will be vaporize by this star but somewhat ironic this star will appear smaller than our sun from earth's perpective given its size.

I think I misunderstood your line about viewing from Pluto on my first watch. When you say dimmer than the sun, do you mean dimmer than the sun as currently seen from Earth?

Is it weird that we talk about this in the present tense when it’s presumably in the distant past and the light is just getting here?
