When a supernova explosion occurs, we would see; a bright flash of light (about a billion times brighter than the sun) lasting for a few months, an expanding cloud of gas which appears years later and expands rapidly from the site of the explosion, the c

I could imagine if this happened, people would fear/ create superstitions that extra terrestrial life is coming to get them, or God is punishing all of us. I wonder how many cults would appear from this if it was close enough and effected us/ or was seem very well, without damaging the protective field.

If a nearby supernova occurred, we would see an extremely bright "new star" in the sky. It would be bright enough to cast shadows on the ground, and would rival the Moon in brightness. This new star would gradually fade in brightness, but would remain visible to the naked eye for several months. The flash of heat and light might flash-burn anything not in the shade. Heating the atmosphere would cause big winds. The air would be much hotter for weeks, as hot as an oven depending on the distance, affecting the whole earth. Many times as well, these stars shoot off earth size blobs that could crash into earth like comets or crash into satellites, shuttles.. .ect.
