Will the Earth have two suns in 2012?

Will the Earth have two suns in 2012? One scientist thinks so - MNDAILY.com

A physicist from the University of Southern Queensland believes the Earth will experience multiple days of constant daylight due to a dying star — even as soon as 2012.

Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

No, says University of Minnesota physics professor Priscilla Cushman.

According to physicist Brad Carter from Australia, the second biggest star in the universe, Betelgeuse, is losing mass, indicating a supernova, or explosion of the star.

“It goes bang, it explodes, it lights up," Carter explained to news.com.au. "We'll have incredible brightness for a brief period of time for a couple of weeks and then over the coming months it begins to fade and then eventually it will be very hard to see at all.”
