2012: The Year Of Twin Suns?!?

This story is almost too strange to be taken seriously, and yet I think it's for real: the Betelgeuse sun, already a bright star in our night sky, appears to be headed for supernova status. When that happens - predicted for sometime in 2012 - we could, for a week or two, have two suns in the sky during the day and night times without darkness thanks to Betelgeuse's dying glory!

It's still too early for April Fools jokes, right?
