Betelgeuse is a red giant at a distance of 428 light years. In the future it will become a supernova similar to Tycho's supernova which was observed in 1572 and lies at a distance of 9800 light years. At its peak, its brightness was similar to that of Venus (which has a peak apparent magnitude of -4). What might we expect the peak apparent magnitude of the Betelgeuse supernova explosion to be?
