WR-104 Binary Star...

[Stag]

So what exact strength of SPF lotion should I be stocking up on??

 

[anti-matter]

Well as long as it doesn't go nova before the premier of Trek XI I don't care...and who's to say that not the next step in our evolution? Fear God dread naught.

OK I know it's oldie and Kaku has been talking about it more like:

And one of the solutions, he says, would be to live deep underground until it passes, but then almost everything on Earth surface would be dead and air would be in large percentage depleted.

But the question is how would Jean-Luc Picard solve this?

 

[Silvercrest]

Picard would say, "It is unfortunate, but the Prime Directive applies. It would be absolutely irresponsible for us to interfere in this situation."

Oh yeah, and regarding the thread:
BRRRAINS!

Well no I mean if WR 104 explosion happened in Star Trek universe where they already have this technology. Would they make like a shield around the Earth and Mars and Moon like they have on spaceships?

Perhaps this will make you sleep better

Spectroscopic emission lines from the binary pair strongly suggest the system is in fact inclined 30°-40° (possibly as much as 45°) away from us.

Stay tuned--at any rate.

I'd love to put some type of sail in that jets path...

I can only hope that if the gamma rays hit us, I will become the Human Torch.

It's not as fun as it looks.

Read this one before on my phone on the bus. Nice to finally have the link!

No. They drop a bit of red matter into the super nova to create a black hole sucking up the shockwave before it hits us.
Romulus would be fucked, though.

Realistically: a large scale deflector shield positioned specifically to take the brunt of the burst. And if Romulus were in the way, it'd completely absorb the entire burst.
